some good picks but i'm surprised that neither of you included jessica hecht nor scarlett johanssen from 'view'?

The F. Actress category was a hard one for me to widdle down.
I don't think both hecht & johanssen will get a nomination, but I can see the nominators including Johanssen instead of Maria Dizzia and completely snubbing In the Next Room completely.
Like I said, I had trouble with it - but I think Harris, Maxwell, and Davis are each solidly in their. And Silverstone about 80% sure. The other slot could go one of several ways.

May Alsion Pill from "The Miracle Worker" have a chance to get a nomiantion?

I think she was breathtaking in that play.

Some of these are so humorous.

Is Chenoweth likely to get nominated?

Best Musical:
Fela
Sondheim on Sondheim
Memphis
Million Dollar Quartet

Best Play
Enron
Red
Time Stands Still
Next Fall

Has Alexander Hanson been forgotten?

---

"Has Alexander Hanson been forgotten?"

- Sadly, I think so. He deserves recognition, but it's such a tight category.
Now Aaron Lazar has a much better chance of a nomination in his category. If he is not nominated, I will be pissed. He is truly deserving in what is a pretty awful category this season.

That woman is an idiot. Was she smoking crack when she came up with these nominations?

Come Fly Away and Million Dollar Quartet for Best Musical?? Chad Kimball for Best Actor? DeJesus was almost universally panned in an otherwise praised production- he won't be nominated. No one remembers Jude Law's Hamlet anymore. Ragtime AND Finian's both being nominated?

Featured Actor/Musical
Kevin Chamberlin-The Addams Family
Bill Irwin-Bye Bye Birdie
Terrence Mann-The Addams Family
John Selya-Come Fly Away

....No.

I was running out of options that why I said Bill Irwin. DUH>
