The "She/He got snubbed!" Thread#1
Posted: 4/30/13 at 9:46amI 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.

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.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 10:14amI'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...

Posted: 4/30/13 at 11:01amI 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.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 11:22amBetsy 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.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 11:57amI 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.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 12:04pmI 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.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 12:17pmReally surprised that neither Fiona Shaw nor Bette Midler got nominated. Also, Alan Cumming, although I didn't particularly care for it.

Posted: 4/30/13 at 12:22pmI thought those 3 were locks for sure. That sucks for Cummings. If nothing, I figured they could appreciate the work he was doing.
