Best Musical: Sister Act

I'm never wrong about these things. You'll see.

Score is between The Scottsboros Boys and Sister Act. At least I think so.

The only lock I see is Book of Mormon for Best Musical, everything else is a tight race. War Horse will not ge a lock for a win, Edie Falco for Blue Leaves? Not based off early buzz. I think the race will between Francis McDormand and Nina Arianda for Best Acress,

I hope Aaron does not win his very very good and will get nominated but a win is kind of Inevitable when he did not get nominated for NTN. Warhorse might win as well highly likely it is very different . But I do hope Daniel does win he has worked so hard and to get awarded for this would be icing on the cake. But aaron has also worked hard would 2 winners be too much? Al Pacino is excellent but Mark Rylance has won the Oliver Award and would win for something original.

Have the people who think Butler will win the Tony actually seen CATCH ME?

Nikki M. James is leagues better than her. And her role is actually well-written too, which is a huge plus.
