If Andrea Martin wasn't running for Best Featured Actress...

Who do you think would won?

I think Lauren Ward would have won "Best Featured Actress". And I am not saying that because I loved Matilda.

She really broke my heart from the beginning of Pathetic to the end. And it was great to see her getting stronger and you feel really happy when she gets her happy ending. Laura did great, portraying her when she was so terrified of Trunchbull.

My whole audience almost applauded when *SPOILERS* Ms. Honey became the new headmistress *END OF SPOILERS*

Annaleigh was great in Kinky Boots and I love her, but after HOWG (which was hysterical), she faded into the background to me.

My personal runner up for BFA would be Victoria Clark. She’s amazing in There’s Music in You.

^^No, really? :P LOL, jk.

I'm so surprised she decided to run!

Well they gave the best replacement award to nobody they one year they ran it! But to be honest even if she hasn't been in the running she would have won it anyway!

Honestly, she was the only person in the category I really would have wanted to award. I wish Rachel Bay Jones and Lesli Margherita had been nominated.

If Andrea wasn't in the running, then Rachel Bay Jones would have been nominated and she probably would have won. It was a masterful performance, especially for what is usually a throwaway role.

I loved Lauren Ward, and thought her role at least had more range than Lesli Margherita's very loud (and one-note) performance, but to me the clear runner-up to Ms. Martin was Keala Settle. She would have been my pick, both as the most deserving entrant in that field but also as the most deserving highlight to recognize from HANDS ON A HARDBODY, which deserved better than it got.

Oh, this thread.

I second jnb's suggestion of Keala Settle.

She'd probably be walking,

These questions are pointless hypotheticals, but if Andrea Martin for some reason wasn't in the running, looking at the other 4 nominees, Ashford likely would have ridden the KINKY BOOTS wave to a victory.

JNB, to be fair, there isn't much depth you bring to Mrs. Wormwood. And since her song is called Loud, I'd imagine that's how she was directed to play it.

Not sure what the point of this is, but it surely would've been Annaleigh Ashford.
