If You Could Guarantee One Nomination...

Tony Award nominations are announced TOMORROW! We all have our predicted locks, strong possibilities, and favorites that don't fit either category. We've had a thread like this in past years, so I thought we could have some fun again.

So, if you could guarantee ONE nomination/set of related nominations tomorrow and be promised NOTHING else in regard to nominations, what would it be?

I'll start: guarantee would be for Caissie Levy and Patti Murin to both garner nominations for FROZEN.

What will tickle you pink tomorrow?

The absolute dream would be a Phillip Boykin nomination... but in a slightly more realistic world, my one guarantee would be Kenita Miller getting into the featured actress category.

Also Etai Benson, but I don't know who I'm kicking out to make room for him and Boykin, haha. (I'd be down with a Benson/Boykin/Butz/Lee/Stachel category. Not gonna happen, but a girl can dream!)

Kenita and Philip absolutely both deserve nominations. Will it happen? Who knows

If I had it my way, Jessie Mueller would FOR SURE be nominated for Carousel.

Absolutely 100%. No question

Kate Rockwell- she steals every scene she is in.

Honestly? Wesley Taylor or Gavin Lee for SPONGEBOB.

This is kind of a lame-ass year for the Tonys, so I'm not very excited.

Norbert Leo Butz. All day. Every day.

Musicals: Etai Benson, Andrew Polk and Ariel Stachel for Band's Visit; Kerry Butler for Mean Girls

Plays: 1984 for Best Play and Director; Jin Ha for M. Butterfly (a brilliant performance in a brilliant production that closed way too soon)

She totally deserves it (over Lea) IMO

I wish I agreed with you :/ I had heard SUCH good things about his performance, but when I saw it a couple of weeks ago he vocally struggled and seemed distracted the whole show. I would much rather see Phillip Boykin take a OOTI male nomination for featured actor."

Yep yep yep. Actually, if I can revise my guarantee to guarantee that Newell *doesn't* get a nomination, that's my biggest wish. He's giving a fraction of the energy and commitment as every other person in that show, and even though he can (sometimes, when he feels like it, maybe, occasionally) yell out a crowd-pleasing song (a song that's crowd-pleasing no matter who's playing Asaka, FWIW), doesn't mean he deserves to be considered for awards. That's my biggest wish for tomorrow above anything. Every other man in consideration for the category is committed to his role and therefore deserves it more.
