Turturro is just as likely to be an Oscar/awards contender for The Only Living Pickpocket In NY, and Broadway has a history of giving award nominees off on the day of ceremonies or rescheduling performances accordingly, so I doubt that that's the reason. Maybe he's been cast in a movie.

I love Tony Shalhoub, but he's on stage in NY far more often than Paul Giamatti so I am a little disappointed.

It doesn't make sense to me. The movie has presumably already wrapped. Why would an Oscar nom impinge on his stage career? Why would he allow it to? Very strange.

If you mean the full-on campaign season, if he prioritizes that over actual work... again, why?"

Awards campaigns ARE part of an actor's work, just like any other form of publicity. And when an actor dives head-first into an awards campaign, typically it means they really care about the project and want it to be seen.

It's not beyond the realm of imagination that Giamatti and his team had already been planning on him being part of The Debut's awards campaign before discussions began to transfer Rhinoceros​​​​​.
