GREASE LIVE
69TH TONY AWARDS
LADY DAT AT EMERSON'S BAR & GRILL
THE WIZ LIVE
ALL THE WAY
Acting nods include Bryan Cranston, Audra McDonald, Titus Burgess, and more.
No acting for Vanessa Hudgens?
No nominations for Hamilton? What a mockery!

Can Audra win this please so she'd only be 1 short from an EGOT!!!
Audra already has an Emmy, but yes please, let's hope she wins!
sng, Audra already has an Emmy for Sweeney Todd at Lincoln Center. This would just be a bonus.

Way to go Kail, Korins, Tazewell, Ivey Long et al!
I love Audra and adored her performance in LADY DAY, but this is Sarah Paulson's to lose (deservedly so).
Grease should take a lot of those technical awards ... and perhaps even Special Class Program.
More importantly...
CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND was nominated for 3 awards (Yay musicals!!!!)
... and
Alan Menken was nominated for original song again... he's becoming the Susan Lucci of the Emmy original song category and he wants that EGOT sooooo bad... I wonder if he can beat Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and complete the EGOT...
on a completely un-Broadway-related topic... I still can't believe that THE WALKING DEAD gets so little love when it's the best show on TV... and ALSO... yay for MR. ROBOT which is amazing and also filmed in NYC with tons of awesome Broadway actors :)

What a farce.

Alan Menken has only been nominated for an Emmy once before.

Does anyone know what the cutoff date for the nominations were? Would broadwayhd's live streaming of She Loves Me have been eligible for nomination had it been filmed earlier?
In order for SHE LOVES ME to have been able to qualify for any 2016 Emmy Award consideration it had to have aired (streamed) between June 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016.

Congrats on all the ''Grease'' wins, but how did Zach Woodlee, who choreographed all the huge dances, NOT get an Emmy nomination? The scope of what he had to do is so far and above doing, say, three numbers from the various dance-competition shows.

Deadline reported the Directing win and one other link did too which is where I got that list from

I believe Deadline.com also misreported Sat. night that Diane Warren and Lady Gaga both won an Emmy for ''Til It Happens to You'' from ''The Hunting Ground.'' In fact, only Warren won. According to the Emmy rules, Lady Gaga hadn't participated enough in the creation of the song, so she wasn't eligible. (As opposed to the Oscars and Grammys, where both were eligible.)
