Is there a reason they didn't discuss KING KONG? Specifically Christiani Pitts and her category placement.

I take it these rulings mean that Lucas Hedges is considered Lead for The Waverly Gallery?

The Prom rulings make sense.
I think it's sort of "category fraud" that Celia Keenan-Bolger is Featured for Mockingbird, yet Cherry Jones and Bobby Cannavale are Leads for Lifespan. But it all comes down to the producers petitioning.

Does it matter at which meeting they discuss anything?

I don't think you have to worry that Pitts will be nominated....so it's cool.

King Kong not being listed as "considered" means they did not invite the tony nominating committee and as of now, will not be up for any Tony's. Whether that changes and they invite them for their next round remains to be seen.
Last year a press release omitted The Parisian Woman as being considered, but the release was later edited to add it so it's ommission was an error. But the committee not making Pitts and the male lead eligible for lead actors means it may not be an error nor eligible at all at this moment.

This is incorrect.

I feel like this is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve seen someone on this board say Jeff Bridges instead of Jeff Daniels. Come on, people!

Oh crap! Hahaha. I was just watching his speech on the Golden Globes and totally had a brain fart! I can only blame that and the stress of thinking of plays with lead actors, other than that I have no excuse. Hahahaha.

I, for one, would LOVE to see Jeff Bridges as Atticus in "Dude, You Killed A Mockingbird?!"

...Not to mention Paddy Considine, John Lithgow, Jeremy Pope, Radcliffe & Cannivale, Tracy Letts, Jonny Lee Miller, anyone from Burn This if they're considered Leading...
It's an absurdly stacked category this year.
Too early to call since so much hasn't opened, but if I had to guess today, I'd go with Considine, Cranston, Daniels, Lane, annnnnd maybe Lithgow. Though I'd love to see Pope and/or Urie sneak in there.
(Also, they ruled on Boys in the Band, and Jim Parsons is the only one considered Leading.)

Best Actor in Play is such a competitive category this year!

It's almost like they consider the size of the role to decide where they go, as opposed to where they might best be able to win?!
