Official 2017 TONY Nominations Thread — Page 5

So thrilled to see Falsettos get so much acting love, I was very nervous it would end up being forgotten this year.

As thrilled as I am for Great Comet, I'm absolutely shocked neither Amber nor Brittain got nominated for featured actress. They both stole the show with their respective numbers.

Metcalf is definitely the frontrunner. Linney is great in Little Foxes, but A Doll's House, Part 2 is basically a showcase for Nora in a way that Little Foxes isn't for Regina, as good as that role is.

I think Metcalf is the frontrunner too, and perhaps I would vote for her, but I don't care about the labeling of the actresses in Little Foxes- I saw Nixon and Linney in both roles and refuse to divide their accomplishments in my mind. Linney was so brilliant as Birdie and it only made her Regina (which I saw first) seem all the more impressive in hindsight. It makes it unfair for the other women in each category, but I value for the contributions to each role in both of their nominations.

Wow I can't imagine how excited Mike Faist is right now! I am also surprised not to see the supporting actress in a musical field loaded with Great Comet actresses. Lots of surprises yet overall nothing feels too surprising - so weird. I hope DEH still wins most of the big ones, it absolutely deserves to.

Judging by how split people were on here over whether Amber or Brittain should be nominated, I imagine they unfortunately split the votes.

Your bias made you forget to include Borle here.

Gurl even I know BEN PLATT is going to win

WTH happened to Sound Design... I saw the Encounter and it was good. but whats the point of reinstating the award then just giving it to a show that closed months ago

The Drama Desks and OCC are decided by entirely different groups of people than the Tonys. This happens every year and every year people seem puzzled by it.

When was the last time Musical, score, and book all matched?

Oh my, its looks like poor Anastasia got smacked in the head by that Great Russian Comet...

We're seeing Comet again on Saturday and totally thrilled for Dave Malloy, sticking to a dream...and now, with such stellar results in the nominations.

Beyond thrilled for Falsettos!! Hands down my favorite show of the season.

I just wish Lapine had also picked up a nomination for Best Direction.

I still have a hunch COME FROM AWAY takes musical with HANSEN winning actor, book and score.
