YAY for Assassins!! Yay Ave. q!! and Raul!! The Best Actress in a Musical Catagory is gonna be interesting, i think.

Anyway, i am really excited about assassins and wicked. The thing is, i don't really want anything to "sweep" i mean, i'm sure something will but i would love to see everything win what it deserves, ya know? I mean, i LOVE wicked but i'll be upset if it wins EVERYTHING. D'ya know what i mean? anyway, think these are great noms, can't wait for the 6th. anyone else have some strong reactions to these noms??

I'm very happy with those nominations. Sorry if it offends the Taboo lovers on this board, but it didn't deserve to make the cut for Best Musical. It had great music and great performances, but as a whole body of work (especially with the horrible book), it didn't really hold together and create characters you really cared about.

I would love it if:
1)Hugh Jackman won
2)Idina Menzel won
3)Isabel Keating won
and Wicked won for best musical
That would make sense in my opinion :)

Does anybody know what the determining factors are as to whether or not there is a solo performance award? Each kind of distinguisher I can think of has exceptions through the years.
