I still can't imagine a scenario in which she doesn't win.

Carrie Coon in Bug seems like formidable competition (though it will have closed the same date, as currently scheduled).
eta: And Ayo Edibiri will have just opened in Proof.

I think these three will likely be the top 3 this season.
Ayo has a Tony winning role that will be the only opened during Tony season, but can she beat the fact that her acclaim may not reach the other two? As is the only performance no one actually saw.

I agree.
Even with other revivals opening later, this has Best Actress in a Play, Best Director of a Play & Best Revival of a Play wins very possible.
We have seen it now in the mezzanine and orchestra. See it as close as possible. Orchestra or front mezzanine. It makes a difference on this one.
