Cause they thought others where more worthy.
I'll put it this way: I don't think LUCY LIU is to blame...
Are you ranting? There's a thread for that by the lovely Blaxx!

Without interviewing EVERY SINGLE ONE of the nominators we won't know WHY. But basically, he didn't get enough votes.
But THIS is why there is a RANT ABOUT THE TONY NOMS thread.
'They' decided to 'snub' all the actors whose fans couldn't follow simple BWW etiquette.

By saying "why" I meant "Oh noooo why !! I love him!!". I didn't ask for a real explanation.
And maybe yes. We can see that Michelle Williams, Daniel Radcliff, Denzel Washington has been snubbed. They probably snubbed every movie actors

Because he dumped Broadway sweetheart Jonathan Groff.

As Liza and others have helpfully tried to point out in the past, there is a finite number of space on the internet and Broadway world is trying to be "green" about it, if you will. Please don't use up precious natural resources like message board threads.
I feel bad about the lack of Quinto nod too.
They saw his selfie and spontaneously combusted.

I'm combusting as I type.
I thought his performance in Menagerie was so good I have no problem with his lack of nomination getting its own thread. Granted, it's wasteful of Internet space, but so be it.
His performance was so good, they were SCARED to nominate it!
Also, the part has it's problems in terms of award categorization. It's too small for a meaty leading man part, but too large to be delegated to supporting.
And it's the part that gets the nomination/award, rarely the performer.
You didn't ASK for a "real explanation"? How were we suppose to know that? And if that's the case, all the more reason NOT to start a new thread.
Short answer: the competition.
The season not only included the five nominated performances but acclaimed work by Washington, McKellan, Stewart, Hall and Letts as well as Quinto. It wasn't as if Quinto, or anyone else, was singled out for derision.

It's okay, dramamama, we've taken the thread in a different direction. Put away that detention pad!

PS, I agree Borstal, they were just CHICKEN.
You "there's already a thread for that" people seriously need to get a f**king life. If your biggest problem in the world is crying about there being multiple threads on a similar subject, I'd say you have it pretty good in the world.
Wouldn't one need to have it pretty good to call people out on such behavior?
