#4TONY Nomination Predictions
Posted: 4/23/10 at 12:21pm
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.
#5TONY Nomination Predictions
Posted: 4/23/10 at 12:24pmThat category for me really depends on how they rule Viola Davis. She is DEFINITELY nominated if she's featured, but I don't know that she gets a nomination if she's leading (which I could see them petitioning for).

May Alsion Pill from "The Miracle Worker" have a chance to get a nomiantion?
I think she was breathtaking in that play.

#11TONY Nomination Predictions
Posted: 4/23/10 at 3:23pm
Well, I'm not even going into the nominations, but am cutting straight to the chase with the without-doubt winners:
Best Play: A Steady Rain
Best Musical: The Addams Family
Best Revival of a Play: Oleanna
Best Revival of a Musical: Bye, Bye Birdie
Best Actor in a Play: Bill Pullman
Best Actress in a Play: No award -- no actress this season was in the same league as the others.
Best Actor in a Musical: Bill Irwin
Best Actress in a Musical: Michael Feinstein
There's something really wrong with the Tony's if these aren't the winners of the 2009-2010 season!

#13TONY Nomination Predictions
Posted: 4/23/10 at 7:13pmI will be pretty shocked if Eddie Redmayne (Red) isn't considered a lead. I know he was featured at the Olivier Awards, but the logical behind that totally escapes me as he's onstage every minute that Molina is and talks nearly as much.

#15TONY Nomination Predictions
Posted: 4/25/10 at 12:20am^ Those are some off-beat predictions. Odd. Come Fly Away is not going to get all of that recognition.
#16TONY Nomination Predictions
Posted: 4/25/10 at 12:34amHas Alexander Hanson been forgotten?
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

UMMMM...
RAGTIME...!!!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

"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.
#19TONY Nomination Predictions

For Musical:
American Idiot*
Memphis
Fela!
The Addams Family/Everyday Rapture(If it gets in I could see a possible upset)
#20TONY Nomination Predictions
Posted: 4/25/10 at 12:48am
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?
