TONY for Leading Actress in a Play

Of all the nominees, I have a strong feeling it's going to Cynthia Nixon.

Her performance in RABBIT HOLE was truly heart-breaking and I hope she finally wins her TONY this year.

Any other thoughts/opinions?

I think she deserves it as well.

If anyone says Judye Kaye, I'll cut you.

Although I adored Judy's performance, Cynthia's was layered and quite the emotional journey. I've never felt so strongly about a performance. The Tony is her's.

Yeah, it definitely should belong to Nixon.

I would really love to see Cynthia Nixon win it. She was heartbreaking, and hey, Barnard alum represent!

And as the NYTimes interestingly mentioned yesterday that by Sunday, all the productions that have yielded the nominees for Leading Actress in a Play will no longer be running...

I agree. Cynthia deserves this award.

She was very good. I thought Tyne was better though. I felt her performance was much more layered. Too bad she's considered Featured.

I'm so glad that Cynthia is getting the recognition that she desereves. She's truly an amazing actress.

She was vastly overlooked for THE WOMEN.

Judy Kaye! Judy Kaye! Judy Kaye!

Munk - Take a chill pill - "I'll cut you." So melodramatic.

It's sarcasm. Chill.

Add me to the CYNTHIA NIXON deserves this one. I also believe Tyne Daly deserves F. ACTRESS. She has greater competition - but in my eyes, she was given the best role with the best material and she hit a home run.

Yes, Featured Actress is amazingly strong this year. It'll be interesting.

Both female play Tonys will go to Nixon and Daly for Actress and Featured Actress, respectively.

Add me to the Cynthia Nixon love. Her performance made this show more than just a teary Lifetime movie. It was layered, nuanced, and incredibly heartfelt. I hope she wins the award.

I gotta chime in on the Cynthia Nixon love on this thread. Considering this category seems to be the weakest of the acting categories, it only makes sense for Cynthia to win. Regardless, she was fabulous in Rabbit Hole and deserves it.
