All sounds about right to me, no?

"Phoebe Fox, Russell Tovey, Michael Zegen, Michael Gould and Richard Hansell will be considered eligible in the Best Performance by an Actor/Actress in a Featured Role in a Play categories for their respective performances in A View from the Bridge."

Nicola Walker, who certainly deserves very serious Tony consideration, will obviously then be considered a lead.

Josh Segarra seems more like a featured actor to me (and he'd have a better chance at a nomination there too) but other than it all seems right.

Surprised Nicola Walker's considered a Lead. Hope that doesn't lower her chances to get that nomination, cause she definitely derserves one.

Interesting that they put Walker in Lead for View from the Bridge - I was wondering how that would go. Jessica Hecht was Featured in 2010 and Allison Janney was Lead in 1998.

I agree that Walker should be featured. Though in my book it's kind of irrelevant I don't think her performance was particularly worthy of a nomination.

Walker is good, but does't top Hecht's haunting performance.
