No Tony Nom For Richardson???

Posted: 5/10/05 at 3:49pm

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.

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.

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!

Rock On Ms. Rashad!
