As a surprise, I'd love to see Marlo Thomas sneak in the Best Featured Actress for Relatively Speaking. I thought she was marvelous.

If kara lindsay gets nominated Im going to rip my ears out. worst.singer.ever.

The only actor from Newsies that should be under any 'true' consideration is Jeremy Jordan. Everyone else was servicable and incredibly ordinary. This show succeeds because of Jordan and the choreography. (Even though the choreography is nothing but flash and dazzle.)

I disagree. Kara was my favorite part of the show. Jordan was fine, but the choreography, while good, felt tedious after a while. I found Kara very refreshing. But I suppose that's for a different thread.
