The 2010 Pulitzer Prizewinners and Nominated Finalists in all categories will be announced on April 12, 2010 at 3 p.m. Eastern daylight time.

I would love to see Bill Cain recognized for his work in EQUIVOCATION.

I really enjoyed Equivocation, but I doubt that it will even be a Finalist. There are just too many really strong plays this year.

My money is on ORPHANS HOME CYCLE or BROTHER/SISTER PLAYS for the win, with Next Fall and Circle Mirror Transformation as the runners-up.

I wonder how likely it is that Ruhl will be a finalist again for Vibrator Play. Orphans is AT LEAST a finalist, but I know some people will be torn on awarding a piece that has in part been performed before. I would LOVE if CMT were named a finalist.

I see ORPHANS winning.

But you can all guess what I think should. (Granted, I didn't see ORPHANS as I'm waiting on a transfer. Fingers crossed.)

Is anyone else uncomfortable with nine pre-existing plays being edited together and billed as a new work? I have great respect for Horton Foote, but the idea that he could win a posthumous Pulitzer for this collage doesn't sit well with me. Besides, he was already awarded a Pulitzer in his lifetime (1995-THE YOUNG MAN FROM ATLANTA). Personally, I'd like to see the award go to a new, original work.

I feel the same, AC. Great as Orphans may be (I haven't seen it), it's tough to argue as a new work. But I feel like everything else that would seem to be in contention this year has its detractors. I'm personally rooting for The Brother/Sister Plays and would love to see Circle Mirror and Next Fall as finalists.

ORPHANS was also heavily edited.
