Drama League Award Nominations 2022 — Page 2

Six nominators per production, but from a larger pool of mostly-industry folks.

The perplexing nature of these nominations aside, I’d narrow the top 5 down to:

Ruben Santiago Hudson, David Morse, Sharon D Clarke, Sutton Foster  or Billy Crystal.

Hudson welcomed back Broadway audiences with his rapturous performance as a couple dozen characters in Lackawanna Blues and also directed Skeleton Crew.

David Morse is giving my favorite performance of the entire season in my unexpectedly favorite production of the season.

Sharon D Clarke just blazed her own path and is a 3 time Olivier winner

Sutton Foster never won?  Not because it’s her best role but because she’s certainly overdue

Billy Crystal may be too hard of a name not to check for certain voters. 

A bit surprising. But can't say I'm disappointed. She is doing great work and reinvented the role. Happy that she is now included in the list of names who have received this.

These wins all seem correct - with the exception of Director of A Play.   Distinguished performance could have gone several way here.
