The "She/He got snubbed!" Thread

I think Lesli Margherita got snubbed for Best Featured Actress in a musical for Matilda. I am also surprised Fiona Show didn't get nominated and Chaplin didn't get nominated for Best Costumes.

Obligatory post about Jessie Mueller. She won the Tony Award of my heart. <3

Also thought Drood should've been up for Costumes, Sound Design, and Jim Norton should've been nominated for Best Actor. Non-Drood: Lilla Crawford should've been nominated.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. 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." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Why don't they simply nominate every show, actor, director, writer, designer, stagehand, dresser, musician,and audience member? Then no one would have to complain. Oh, no - they would complain that X didn't actually win.

Maybe the Tonys should be like a suburban soccer league - just give everyone an award.

I'm not sure how thinking there are performances or productions or design elements that are better than ones that were nominated suggests an "everybody-gets-an-award" mentality...

That's OK. I'm sure, and that's what matters.

I still haven't seen Macbeth, but based on what everyone was saying I thought for sure Alan would get a nod.

Hell, I thought for sure he was gonna WIN! John Tiffany also deserved
a nomination, maybe a win. The production really comes together brilliantly, but I guess the folks who matter don't think so.

Betsy Wolfe had left "Drood" by the time I saw it, but I heard so many great things about her performance, I was a bit surprised she didn't get a nod.

I would have absolutely put THE OTHER PLACE in over THE TESTAMENT OF MARY. And I would have put Rachel Bay Jones in over every other woman in the category...even Andrea Martin.

I agree. The Other Place was the best play I saw all season. And I agree with rOcKs--I thought Margherita was more deserving of a nomination than Ward.

Alan Cumming and/or Macbeth not being nominated in my biggest disappointment.

I agree The Other Place over The Testament of Mary too, I thought it was a better play.

Wish Hands on a Hardbody was nominated too.

Really surprised that neither Fiona Shaw nor Bette Midler got nominated. Also, Alan Cumming, although I didn't particularly care for it.

I thought those 3 were locks for sure. That sucks for Cummings. If nothing, I figured they could appreciate the work he was doing.

Margherits should have been nominated, if only because Loud is far more difficult than anything Miss Honey has to do.
