So...there is always one or two big surprises! Actually, this year has a few more "anyone's guess" categories than most. That being said, what are your upset predictions? Not who you WANT to win, but who you really think could surprise us all.
Going out on a limb here:
Sean Hayes for Best Actor/Musical
Marica Milgrom Dodge for Best Director/Musical
I think La Cage is the biggest lock of the night (behind Viols Davis), and could see voters going another way on director.

Posted: 6/5/10 at 10:10amI think Montego will win and I also think Maxwell will beat Davis for the Best Actress award.

Posted: 6/5/10 at 11:51amSad it's considered an upset, but anything BUT La Cage for revival.

I'd really love to see Hayes take Best Actor.
Also, either Hecht or Johansson taking Featured Actress in a Play.

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 6/5/10 at 12:21pmI really think Steggert's gonna take Featured Actor

While I would love to see Ragtime take all their nominated awards, especially Dodge's direction, I can see Steggert taking Supporting Actor more than any other. I truly hope this is a night of upsets.
Personally, I'd love to see Sherie take Actress over CZJ and Glover, and Ragtime take direction over LaCage.
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone

I forgot to mention I would love to see Fela! beat Memphis for Best Musical. Especially since Memphis seems to be the clear frontrunner now.
That and Ngaujah or Hayes beating Hodge would make my night.

Posted: 6/5/10 at 1:01pmIf critics still had a vote, FELA would likely be the one to beat.

Agreed.
If I could pick one upset of the night though, I think it would be NEXT FALL for Best Play. And then FELA! for Best Musical.

Posted: 6/5/10 at 1:28pmScarlett Johansson for Featured Actress in a Play...fingers crossed.

#12TONY UPSET PREDICTIONS
Posted: 6/5/10 at 2:07pmI'd also really like to see Liev take Actor in a Play. Denzel was good, but Liev was unbelievable.

Kelsey Grammer beating Hodge.
At this point, I don't really care as long as Hodge doesn't win.

Posted: 6/5/10 at 2:43pmAC, couldn't agree with you more. I'd love for Liev Schreiber to win again.

Posted: 6/5/10 at 2:57pmI think the biggest surprise will be if people actually watch them this year!!!
#17TONY UPSET PREDICTIONS
Posted: 6/5/10 at 3:00pmFELA! for Best Musical and anybody but Twyla winning for Best Choreography (that's a stretch).

MusicalComedyMan, your comment is funny because it's true. The only people who give anything more than a shrug to the Tony Awards are BBW posters, those involved with the actual productions and the winners' mothers.
That said, I'm excited to yet again live vicariously through this year's winners.

Posted: 6/5/10 at 7:03pmI still have a tiny twinge of hope that Sherie can win, but I know in my heart that it's not true.

I predict at least six different threads devoted to how upset a poster is when someone they wanted to win loses.
I predict at least two people will post threads with a winner in the title which leads me to predict
At least four people will flip out because they are upset with the people who started the spoiler threads because they are on the west coast or because they are watching via tivo.
