The Early "Kelli Shoulda Won The Tony" Thread

So we know Kelli will easily be nominated again (two years in a row..wowowo) for the Tony.

But as much as she should be rewarded for her Pajama work, voters will see it as slight and go for the safe Patti (oh gawd) or LaChanze (just average).

So why wait for the awards..let start bitching now!

After she was robbed by the talent impared Saarraaaa (at least she showed up to get the award), Kelli deserves some Tony love.

Oh goody.

Let's make this year more depressing.

---

and seriously, Kelli shouldn't win this year, there are couple people I'd put before her.

---

It's all Patti's.

---

Kelli O'Hara won't and shouldn't win this year's Tony.

Oh, come on; look at her competition. It's impossible, and against LuPone alone even *without* LaChanze, there's not going to be reason to say she should've won.

Yes bjh..what Kelli does seems effortly easy. But making a role in a light weight show takes master skill.

And Sara only missed a "few" shows? I guess Mike Nichols went to the theater to thank her for attendance.

And yes..let's compare Kelli and Sara last year.

Sara - small role which required her to do slap stick comedy and fall out of her costume.

Kelli - lead role of a mental challenged girl who carried the show on her ability to communicate that disability while singing hard, demanding music.

Yes..you're right..they were both exactly the same.

Stranger things have happened.
Besides the fact that Kelli was in the wrong category last year...I DO NOT THINK Clara is MERELY FEATURED and her role was far more substantial compared to Sara's...Sara won for appropriately for FEATURED and Kelli pretty much knew Sara was going to get it. Kelli didn't feel robbed ONE BIT either.
This year her competition is very stiff to even get a nomination. So I think she will be very thrilled with even being mentioned in the same sentence as Patti Lupone and LaChanze. I don't think that Pajama Game's Babe is the Tony winning role for Kelli but there will be one coming up for her I am sure!
I don't think that Kelli actually SET OUT to be the big star that she is..so all of this other stuff is just icing for her.
hey Kelli, if I call you to congratulate you this year...I'M NOT CELIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

Yes, but if Kelli had been pushed for lead, she'd have been in competition with Victoria Clark. That tactic wasn't really reflective of the part size.

and the final badgley mishka:
without the straps though...

accessories..paint! LOVE IT!
I'm done though..
those are my top picks for Kelli to wear...the first one is my favorite and would look amazing with her gorgeous blue eyes!
and i thought YOU were going to bed!!!

But they do that, in many cases, to increase the chances for a win; if they were both nominated in the same category, they'd potential 'cancel each other out,' or, if one won, that would mean the other did not.

i hear ya luv..i still don't agree with it!
=) I am proud of Kristin for not going that route.
Crivello did it for Spiderwoman and he was a LEAD..not featured.
i KNOW they do it..but i think its D-U-M..dumb!

how about those gowns??!
