Hooray for Norbert! Hooray and much surprise for John Lithgow!
Hank Azaria and Tim Curry instead of David Hyde Pierce?! Gary Beach?!
Yay Pacific Overtures!! 4 Nominations, they did notice you!
Ugh. I didn't expect it, but still.

Suprises - no Borle, no McGovern, no Lange, Beach getting a nomination, no David Hyde Pierce, Philip Bosco getting a nomination - but more importantly - NOT A ONE for Glass, Steel, Good Vibrations, All Shook Up, Bklyn...not good.

I can't beleive that BKLYN didn't at least get a nom for BEst Costumes!
Phillip freaking Bosco?!? All righty then. Happy for Dilly and Parker!!! No Denis O'Hare or Maureen McGovern? WTF!
"Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre
Edward Albee" Can we say, Virginia Woolf for Revival now?
No Raul, Christian, or Cheyenne. *sigh*
I am happy for Erin Dilly, Marc Kudish, John Lithgow and Matt Morrison though. :)

Good thing I bailed on my plans to see Chitty tonight.
He's John Lithgow. He was BOUND to be nominated... whether or not I actually AGREE with that... *sighs*
Gary Beach was quite the surprise, though. And, yeah. I heard Azaria and Curry and thought, "Okay, they're either nominating all three leads, or that's it." Sad for DHP. I was hoping it would be him and Curry.

Oh my god I'm so happy. John Lithgow is nominated. Maybe he doesn't have a Broadway singing voice but he deserved that nomination.

Happy for Bill Irwin - surprised, but happy.
"Hank Azaria and Tim Curry instead of David Hyde Pierce?!"
Sorry, I totally agree with Tim Curry (playing the straight man role isn't as easy as it looks, especially in a show like that), although I'd have nominated David Hyde Pierce over Hank Azaria. And Christian Borle over Chris Sieber (if it had to be one or the other), although Chris was wonderful. I'm happy for Michael McGrath - I just loved him.
I could not disagree more!
Why Wayne Cilento for choreography? All reviewer and people who saw the show said it was nothing special?
I so don't like all the Spamalot love, 14 nominations. But I was figuring it would be like that. I'm glad Litgow is in, but not real pumped about Azaria or Curry.
I am thrilled to see that the ENTIRE casts in the 2 strongest plays on Broadway have been nominated.
I really don't get Erin Dilly, but hey. And I'm very upset for Maureen, Christian and Denis. I thought they'd all be there...

I am very excited for Michael Stulhburg (spelling?) from Pillowman and Michael McGrath (PATSY!!) from Spamalot.
PATSY!!!!
But... but... but...
::sulks::
VERY happy about the Pillowman recognition.
Happy about :Marc, Matt, Kelli and Christina....
Missing: Dennis, Raul, cast of Steel Magnolias, Michael B.
oh, and VERY glad that MLP was recognized for Reckless.
wheee, me too Addy!
Bad year for women of the south, from the sublime -- GLASS and STREETCAR -- to the, well, less subllime, STEEL. No surprises, really, about Lange and Richardson, both controversial, both with many naysayers in productions that had downbeat reviews. But it's a sad day for lovers of Williams, that his two finest plays are virtual no-shows in awards this season. I know, blame the productions. Okay, I guess we have to -- though I found much to admire in both (admittedly, the minority).
There was also quite a "signal" sent to Jukebox musicals: Basically, stay the f--k away from broadway. No surprise there, either.
Oh yes, can't forget Matt and Kelli!!
