Crazy that LIFE OF PI didn’t make the cut. 

Why again does Best Actress have 4 slots?

Not enough performances eligible in Leading Actress in a Play, so it reduced from five to four nominees.

There was definitely a lot of backlash for their decision to transfer at the last second (and not invite critics again yet). Not saying that's why it was snubbed, but it definitely didn't help. 

TaffyDavenport said: "That is the production's preferred pronunciation of Prima Facie."

Wait it is?? That’s… interesting. Well I stand corrected. 

Marcel Spears snub is awful.  

I'm not entirely surprised that Life of Pi didn't get in.  And secretly kinda proud that I went 5/5 on my Best Play predictions.  :)
