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?

Posted: 5/10/05 at 3:50pmI am surprised and pissed. In my opinion, Richardson gave one of the best performances of the year.

Posted: 5/10/05 at 4:09pmThis is THE ommission of the year. Richardson's performance is one of the best, if not the best on Broadway right now.

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

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!
