Jerry Mitchell for LaCage, hands down! A credit to Les Cagelles.
Scenic will probably go to Chitty, which I havent seen, but for $13 mil, what do you expect? I'm just disappointed Little Wonen didn't get a nom.

I haven't seen enough plays to comment.

The past few year I've worn the t-shirt from my favorite show on Tony night for our little get together. Last year it was Avenue Q, 03 was Hairspray, and 02 was Millie. This year I'll be wearing my "stolen" t-shirt from DRS.

Ya'll can jump down my throats for this- but I would love to see Sutton Foster take home her second tony...I saw Little Women for my second time last night and even more so than when I saw the first preview performance, I was captivated by her sensational portrayal of the role. This woman is the real deal when it comes to acting- every beat, every moment, is just perfect as she dominates the stage. Her voice is in fine form, soaring to the last row of the mezzanine- her physicality is impecable, her choices strong and comitted...Witnessing her on the Virgninia stage triggered a respect for her and a love for her ability to perfect her craft- she surpassed my expectations and Sutton Foster in my opinion is "ASTONISHING"!

Everyone is saying Mike Nichols for Spamalot. I'm saying Lapine for Spelling Bee because he's never won a Tony for direction, and I think they might remember him this year. Nichols has won 8 million Tonys, DRS just isn't great enough for Jack O'Brien to win (again), and Bart Sher is a newbie.
