You may be right. He wasn't even on my radar as a possible nominee, but this might give him a shot.

I think that's a very smart move, and that Cooper, Glick, Hawkins, Kline, and Mays will be the lineup.

Noticed that Barrett Doss didn't get petitioned to be leading. I know featured actress is a tough category but after the good reviews for Groundhog Day is there any chance she gets in?

No Mark Ruffalo? If I had to bump one of my previous picks to make room for Cooper, I think it'll be Ruffalo, too, but I'm struggling with it.

Interesting that Doss was left in featured. She might stand a chance there depending on how much they like the show.

Derek Klena was left in featured, leaving all three ANASTASIA men in the same category, which seems like an odd choice.

maybe she has a better chance of a nomination as featured. I sure hope so, she is incredible.

Given how crowded Featured Actress in a Musical is, I'd be surprised to see Barrett Doss slip in.

AnOrdinarySunday said: "So Laura Linnie was bumped to Leading, but Cynthia Nixon stays in Featured?"

Nixon played Birdie on opening night, which is a featured role. The producers decided these are the roles they will compete for, leaving them both eligible to win in a different category. It's a smart movie in many ways.

Linney will have Metcalf to contend with in Leading, but Nixon has a great shot of winning in Featured (though personally I'd give it to Houdyshell or Rashad for Doll's House).

If Soo has any chance , she's as bland as the musical she's in..

Jeffrey Karasarides said: "According to Broadway.com, Warren Carlyle won't be eligible for Best Choreography."

Yeah, interesting. Here's how I'm thinking the category might go down, with Carlyle out of the mix:

Andy Blankenbuehler (Bandstand)
Kelly Devine (Come from Away)
Denis Jones (Holiday Inn)
Sam Pinkleton (The Great Comet)
Sergio Trujillo (A Bronx Tale)
