The Biggest Snub Thread

Posted: 5/5/09 at 1:27pm

James Barbour? A Tale of Two Cities? Stephanie J. Block? Megan Hilty? Daniel Radcliffe? Equus? [tos]? This list could go on and on... Who got the biggest snub...

My opinion... James Barbour getting left out while Constantine was nominated? Your thoughts?

There are a lot of snubs, but it was a remarkably rich season for the the acting categories.

The only true WTF nomination IMO is Constantine. I mean really.

Definitely Aaron Tveit when a kid who is in a one song role four times a week got it over the heartwrenching performance Aaron is giving twice as many times.

Tovah. I am in shock.

And Rock of Ages and Shrek over 9 to 5 and [title of show].

9 to 5 got robbed. No Best Musical? No more leading actress noms? No SET!? That is ridiculous!

The awards will be a Billy Elliot sweep. It's biggest competition was 9 to 5 but they were barely nominated for anything.

Also I think Hair will take home a few awards, it better take lighting!

Is an American Idol contestant being nominated in an acting category a sign of the apocolypse?

Allison Case's (Hair) omission is a huge travesty.

No, I don't think it's the apocalypse until an American Idol reject wins a Tony.

Despite the fact that he's Arthur Laurents, I would have liked to have seen Arthur Laurents get a nomination. I am in the minority of the people impressed with his production of West Side Story.

I don't think Arthur should have gotten a Tony nomination for his direction of West Side Story.

I think he should have gotten 50-to-life.

Stephanie J. Block - now, and when she was in "Boy From Oz"

Daniel Radcliffe was amazing in Equus, he definitely deserved a nomination.

PalJoey, I agree he should have gotten 50 to life as well, but not for West Side. How about his latest 'memoir' otherwise known is "This Book Really Isn't Meant to Trash Academy Award Winning Director, Sam Mendes, But it Does Anyway" by Arthur "Any Hack Can Direct La Cage/Tony Loser" Arthur Laurents. But we still love him anyway.
