No Tony Nom For Richardson???

I know Streetcar received some mixed reviews, but I'm a little shocked that Natasha Richardson did not receive a nom and that Streetcar didn't receive one for revival of a play.

Is anyone else surprised?

I am surprised and pissed. In my opinion, Richardson gave one of the best performances of the year.

I was having computer troubles, but I'm back now (with a brand new PC to boot!)

I thought she was really good.

But yay Cherry Jones!

Of the 5, I would've axed Phylicia Rashad in favor of Natasha.

This is THE ommission of the year. Richardson's performance is one of the best, if not the best on Broadway right now.

I totally agree, MB. Performance of the year, without a doubt.

Frankly, if it were up to me, I'd award Richardson the Tony over all five of the people who were nominated.

I love being the odd man out

Frankly, I would rather see Jessica Lange recognized.

Agreed.

I am sad about it!

Absolutely!

I'm with MargoChanning. I thought her performance was brilliant!

She should have WON the Tony.

And, at the very least, should have received the nomination over Phylicia Rashad!

Silly Posters! Nominations are for GREAT performances! Not Lackluster ones.

Rock On Ms. Rashad!
