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?

9 to 5 for Best Musical, Book, and Sets.
Kristin Scott Thomas for Actress in a Play.

Nancy Reagan, meanest and thinnest of the first ladies moves into the white house. Yabba dabba! It's the eighties.

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.

Posted: 5/5/09 at 2:09pmDefinitely 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!

Posted: 5/5/09 at 2:41pmIs an American Idol contestant being nominated in an acting category a sign of the apocolypse?

Posted: 5/5/09 at 2:44pmAllison Case's (Hair) omission is a huge travesty.
#18re: The Biggest Snub Thread
Posted: 5/5/09 at 2:45pmNo, I don't think it's the apocalypse until an American Idol reject wins a Tony.

Posted: 5/5/09 at 2:50pmDespite 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.

Posted: 5/5/09 at 2:53pmStephanie J. Block - now, and when she was in "Boy From Oz"
#23re: The Biggest Snub Thread
Posted: 5/5/09 at 2:53pmDaniel Radcliffe was amazing in Equus, he definitely deserved a nomination.
If people have split views about your work, I think it's flattering. I'd rather have them feel something about it than dismiss it.

Posted: 5/5/09 at 2:56pmPalJoey, 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.
