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.

"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."

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 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.
