Tony Predictions: No Guts No Glory

[Michael Bennett]

Posted: 5/2/11 at 2:19pm

Those of us that play the Oscar nominating game have a little tradition on the eve of nominations which we call "No Guts, No Glory" -- This is where you get to prove your prediction 'glory' by throwing out ONE unexpected 'gutsy' nomination (or snub) that will be a surprise tomorrow morning.

The Tony Nominating committee historically loves to throw some curve balls - so think big. Anything could happen...

My NGNG predictions (I'll cite two to give an example):

Radcliffe shut out of Best Actor in a Musical race.
Scotsboro is a leader in nominations (second only to Morman)

I am beginning to fear that Catch Me will be shut out of all the major categories (musical/book/score) and it's only nomination might be for Butz.

In turn, I predict that there's a surprising upsurge of WOTV love (Benanti, LuPone, Scott, Score).
