James McArrdle's role was much harder than Michael Cera's but IMO Cera just did it better.
These two are too funny.

SIX Best Actress in a Musical?!!!! I don't recall that many noms before.....
Love them hosting! But where sad no nominations for Alex Newell, James McArdle, and Kate Rockwell.

I caught the last two minutes and LOL at McPhee. Bless her heart, that ending could not have been clunkier.

So pleased for Angels in America (except for James McArdle ) I know she divided some people on here but I loved Susan Brown so I'm happy she was nominated, and I loved the score so pleased about that too.
Completely confused as to why Alex Newell didn’t get a Nom . This is RIDICULOUS
I can't believe that they would snub Lee Pace and James McArdle for Michael Cera?? Both men from Angels in America were 10x better than Michael Cera... Michael Cera didn't even do much, he was just his awkward self. Not as impressive as Pace or McArdle!

No Kenita Miller, no John Cariani. Those supporting categories really were all over this season. I have no idea who to root for at this point.
Pleasantly surprised by the Lobby Hero love.
In addition to the featured actor/actress snubs for Once On This Island, I'm sad it was not nominated for choreography.
Honestly, Katharine McPhee was hilarious and anyone annoyed needs to take a breath. It's not that deep.

Seriously bummed about Alex Newell and Kenita Miller not getting noms.
I just missed who was nominated for featured actor in a play... Does anyone know?
Yeah, these Tony nominations are so disappointing this year.
-No Alex Newell and no Kate Rockwell
-Mean Girls getting nominated for Best Scenic Design is a joke
-Frozen deserved Best Lighting and Scenic and Costume
-The Spongebob music team shouldn't eligible
I'm so damn happy for Taylor, Ashley, and Lindsay

I find it incredibly disrespectful. For many, this is an important moment in their careers and it seems unfair of McPhee to taint this moment by butchering the pronunciation of their name. It's one thing to misspeak or stumble over a word, it's another to repeatedly mispronounce the same word or look flabbergasted when a long name appears. None of the nominations were so surprising, she couldn't familiarize herself with some of the contenders.
Mean Girls getting costumes over The Band's Visit might have me the most upset, especially since it made the show have more nominations, but it is fine, what matters are the actual awards and The Band's Visit will be fine. Not Happy about Renee getting in over Kenita.
Did they announce the nominees in the order of votes they received?

People are allowed to dislike things that you don't find a big deal. It happens.

Honestly Mean Girls has me very nervous now. I think it's almost guaranteed that they will reward it by giving Tina Best Book, and that is undeserved.
So nothing for MARGARITAVILLE. And FROZEN only got Best Musical?
I think the nominees were overall pretty good with very few surprises. Sad about Lee Pace and James McArdle; thrilled for Diana Rigg and all the My Fair Lady love. I also think Pill should have been nominated for Three Tall Women too.
The nominations seem largely as expected - though I’m somewhat surprised by the omissions of Allison Pill and Lee Pace. I’m mostly disappointed, however, for James McArdle. I really loved his performance in “Angels” - maybe my favorite of the production.
