I think, however, that Gypsy's 3 leads will win acting awards in their respective categories.
Sunday may win for Daniel Evans or some technical awards.
I think it's safe to say, the vast majority of this season's awards belong to the revivals!

You are right, sir.
I don't think Boyd Gaines has much of a "win" chance; he'll be nominated, but he doesn't seem to have as much buzz as Benanti and LuPone, and because Stew is the only Leading Actor in PASSING STRANGE, Daniel Breaker has now become the frontrunner in Featured Actor.
In terms of Revivals, I think wins will be spread out as follows:
SOUTH PACIFIC
Best Revival of a Musical
Best Director of a Musical (Bartlett Sher)
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE
Best Leading Actor in a Musical (Daniel Evans)
Best Set Design of a Musical
GYPSY
Best Leading Actress in a Musical (Patti LuPone)
Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Laura Benanti)
So what were we talking about?
Oh right. SOUTH PACIFIC is all kinds of awesome. No question.

With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-
"Not Barker, Todd is the only person I've ever known who could imitate Katherine Hepburn...in print." -nmartin-

Same person:
If South Pacific doesn't win set and lighting, the voters will have lost their minds.

I know sarcasm doesn’t always read as such, so just to avoid any confusion I want to clarify I’m being sarcastic.

You have no comparisons.
You say that SOUTH PACIFIC is the best out of those three, but you've NEVER even seen the other two!!
At least if I am going to bash or criticize something, I cover all avenues of alternate perspective and comparisons first.
Shutting up now.

And since when are sets a factor in revival? Company won last year with basically no sets. I'd also argue that Pajama Games sets weren't that great either. Nothing to do with it winning.
