I would love for Clyde Alves to get some awards love. He was great in OTT! He nailed that part. Big and wacky without making it seem forced.

Add me to the list of "shocked" that Kelli O'Hara was snubbed.

"Why when people on here don't agree with the nominations do they call out the awards been a joke? "
There are certain nominations I don't agree with that I also don't consider a joke. But when frontrunners are overlooked, that is absolutely a joke. Like I don't agree with Julie Halston getting in over Patricia Clarkson, but I don't consider that a joke. It's a packed category. But when Erin Davie (who was inferior to Emily Padgett in her own show) gets a spot over Kelli O'Hara, who many people expected to win, that's a joke.

The lack of nominations for Kelli O'Hara and Ruthie Ann Miles ... among several other very puzzling choices absolutely diminishes the credibility of this entire thing. Seriously?!
I like a good rhyme more than a good time

I'm surprised that one of the Side Show twins got nominated at all, but since one of them was nominated, I'm glad and unsurprised that it was Davie. She may not have belted like Padgett did, but her vocal performance fit the character well, and I thought Davie's acting was better than Padgett's

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I think the Outer Critics Circle did a better job than the Drama Desks this year.

Kelli O'Hara is NOT nominated?

Both the Outer Critics and Drama Desks have always been weird and questionable. This year is no different.

Henrik,
Silverman's role is pretty much the same size as it was in the original.
....but the world goes 'round

I'm happy for Andy Blankenbuehler's special award but does that make him ineligible for Outstanding Choreography?
"To Andy Blankenbuehler for his inspired and heart-stopping choreography in Hamilton, which is indispensible to the musical's storytelling. His body of work is versatile, yet a dynamic and fluid style is consistently evident. When it's time to "take his shot," Blankenbuehler hits the bull's-eye."
To me this reads as, Hamilton deserves the award for Outstanding Choreography even though it wasn't nominated so whichever choreographer wins this award this year will a nice big asterisk next to his or her name.

Yes, the earlier the award, the wonkier the nominations are. It's the same every year.
The Outer Critics are the most bizarre, then the Drama Desks, and by the Tonys, they mostly get it close.
Even with that, Kelli not getting a nomination is very messed up.
Here are your culprits:
NOMINATING COMMITTEE, 2014-15
Barbara Siegel, Chairperson; author; freelance critic
Ben Coleman, Literary Associate, Samuel French, Inc.; dramaturg
Adrian Dimanlig, "Interludes" at www.adriandimanlig.com

When is the final Tony nomination meeting? I'm interested in seeing where they place some of the actors, especially John Cariani, Christian Borle and Julie White.

Wait, really? There are only 6 nominators? So there actually IS a chance that none of them saw The King & I. Do they just sit in a room and pick their choices like over lunch? This is so weird.

Yes, Kelli being snubbed, scandal, scandal, raise the pitchforks. But come on. She's getting the Tony nod, and a lot of performances and shows, on Broadway or so off-Broadway they're in Bushwick, even things that opened last summer, got acknowledgment they wouldn't otherwise.

Never heard of one of those committee members. The big Winner is THE PUBLIC THEATRE, with HAMILTON here and FUN HOME on Broadway, they are on a roll.
I went back and read the list a few times thinking I just didn't see Kelli's name, now that's ridiculous.

Was Constellations eligible? If yes, it was entirely shut out.

Also pretty surprising no "You Can't Take It With You" for best play revival.
