Tony Awards Nominations Poll (New)

[Blackbird3]

I've created a new (informal, unscientific) poll now that the nominations have been announced. Please vote for who you want to win the Tony award in each category:

Good poll, but Pat Shortt is a man, so I highly doubt he'd be up for Best Featured Actress in a Play.

Oh my, how embarrassing! Thanks for catching that, I fixed it!

I hope you do a one for the official nominations! :)

Likewise, Tony Shalhoub might get more votes if his name is spelled correctly.

jnb9872 - Noted and fixed. Thanks for catching it!

disneybroadwayfan22 - That's the plan! I will add the technical categories as well on Tuesday morning. :)

Yeah, I really enjoyed this. Curious to see the results and do it again post-nominations.

I wonder how many people who who have voted for Beautiful have actually seen it.

Thanks, ethan231h! I added her, as well as Annie Golden for Violet.

Thanks to everyone else for your feedback and for voting! Can't wait to see how the results compare on Tuesday!

Sorry if this is a thread-jack, but it is related. Here are my (and my friend Mike's) wish list and practical predictions for all of the musical category Tony nominations: http://bit.ly/1ivIj5Y . We'd love to hear your thoughts!

OP - I'll translate my thoughts to your poll! Thanks for doing it!

This is great! I won't vote because I haven't seen all the shows. I did see many and Beautiful twice and loved it. I would be thrilled to see Beautiful and Jesse Mueller win. Thanks for doing this poll!

Thanks for all the feedback! I'm thrilled with all of the responses!

Any thoughts on how to do the poll when the nominations are announced? I am unsure of whether to have everyone predict who they think will win, or have everyone vote for who they want to win. (I could make a second poll, but that could be overkill?)

After seeing Beautiful last night, I found it enjoyable but not extraordinary. Don't know what the hype is about and why it keeps getting nominated for Best Musical. But I have to say.. Jessie Mueller was amazing. Wow! Couldn't take my eyes off her. But the show itself was meh.

Saw it last night as well. A lot of people were fooled into having a great time. Thanks for setting the record straight as to how deluded the audience was.

Is Emerson Steele not eligible for Featured Actress for Violet? I don't know if she has a chance, but she seemed just as featured - if not more so - than some of the others. (And I thought she was great!)

The woman next to me was jamming to the music the whole time and started singing during one of the songs too. And, during intermission, I heard her and another woman talk about how amazing the show was. In my opinion, to enjoy the musical, you have to really like Carole King. I'm pretty indifferent about Carole King so I didn't care too much about her life or music. Wish they created a plot for the show, like they did with Mamma Mia.

Follows her from teenager to budding songwriter to marriage problems to after marriage. Had me fooled .Sounded like a plot and a story to me.

There are few things worse than a fan who feels personally insulted when someone criticizes what they like, and then lashes out defensively and disproportionately...

JudyDenmark, you are correct, and she had been added!
