I have a slight problem re your Chenowith choice. Other than that, I am fully on board with your choices.

*ChenoWEth isn't even on that list, so… I'm confused what you are disagreeing with Roxy. 

This thread is sort of futile, no?

My error re Cheno. Must have confused it with one of the myriad Tony threads.

"Best Revival of a Musical: On the Twentieth Century"

I actually think it has a decent shot. I'd say least likely is On the Town at this point.

 

"Best Leading Actor in a Play: Bradley Cooper (I just don't see it happening)"

I agree that Cooper probably won't win, but you really think he's the least likely? His performance was incredible. I would Nighy and Miles are much LESS likely to win than Cooper. I think Ben Miles is probably the least likely to win.

 

"Best Leading Actor in a Musical: Ken Watanabe"

I know people have problems with his diction, but I think his performance was otherwise outstanding. Considering the fact that the ROLE itself has a history of being Tony and Oscar-winning, I'd say his chances are greater than Yazbeck's (and maybe even BDJ's, but that's just my opinion). 

I mostly agree with the rest of your choices, but it's all pretty subjective anyway.

Much as I hate to say it (and that is quite a bit)...I have to agree on Leanne Cope/Brandon Uranowitz. 

 

I'd say On the Town is the least likely revival.
