I'd love to see Benjamin Walker nominated for BBAJ.

Chicago Star-
I was thinking the same thing. I think Benjamin acutally deserves the Tony, not just the nom. Fantastic performace!

Here is my ideal choices for the Acting categories (sans the nomination lists)
BEST ACTOR/MUSICAL:
Benjamin Walker (BBAJ)
BEST ACTRESS/MUSICAL:
BEST FEATURED ACTOR/MUSICAL:
Tony Sheldon or Nick Adams (PRISCILLA)
BEST FEATURED ACTRESS/MUSICAL:
Laura Benanti (WOTV)
I figure that Tony Sheldon would have very good odds in the featured category. I feel the show is essentially is an ensemble show, and pushing any one of the three leads as "Leading Actor" makes a weak case up against other nominees.

If it's any possible gauge as to what possible Tony noms BBAJ can receive, they just got nominated for 3 Lortels (Best Musical, Best Choreography, and Best Scenic Design)

BBAJ wasn't awful, and Benjamin Walker was well-cast, but it won't be winning any major Tonys.

There doesn't seem to be any discussion of plays in this thread, but Lily Rabe for featured (or leading?) actress, anyone?

I hope Frances McDormand wins.
For those who have seen Patina and Sutton, who would you give the Tony to?

I hope Frances McDormand wins.
I haven't seen Good People yet! That's on my list.

McDormand was stunning, so I agree.
Haven't seen Patina yet, but I think Sutton is more competition than people are giving her credit for being.

I think Laura Benanti will be nominated in the featured actress category. She could also win, though she won so recently.

"I think Laura Benanti will be nominated in the featured actress category. She could also win, though she won so recently. "
Time between nominations and wins, I feel, hardly has any bearing on a person's chances of winning.
Examples: Gwen Verdon, won Best Actress/Musical in 1956, 1958, and 1959. Angela Lansbury won the same in 1966 and 1969, as did Donna Murphy in 1994 and 1996.

I've seen both Sutton and Patina - it's totally a toss-up. Patina might win because she's a relative unknown, but Sutton does an excellent job as Reno Sweeney.

I wouldn't discount Nina Arianda giving Frances or Lily Rabe a run for their money in Best Actress. She's a pretty hot commodity within the industry right now, and with only two performances under her belt, her Billie Dawn is garnering significant buzz. I still think Frances is the clear and deserving front-runner, but I think Arianda is going to end up being her strongest competitor.

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
