I think the Tony nominating committee essentially viewed SUNSET as a limited engagement concert production. The big event was Glenn's return and she wasn't eligible so perhaps they just didn't pay it much attention to it.
Obviously they didn't care much for CHARLIE, AMELIE, ANASTASIA or BRONX TALE.
“I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then.”
Jon Jon Briones, Gideon Glick, Christy Altomare, Mary-Louise Parker, and Amber Gray. Shocked at all five of them not getting nominations, though most particularly Glick and Gray.
I finally caught ANASTASIA over the weekend and while Altomare is good in it, I can't really say that I thought her performance was better or more deserving than the women who were nominated. The committee obviously didn't think much of the show as a whole. I personally thought it a bit Disney lite, but that's just me.I did think Mary Beth Piel was wonderful though and am very happy she showed up this morning.

Jon Jon Briones and Christy Altomare for sure but my really big personal rage snub this season goes to the trio of Amber Grey, Brittain Ashford, AND Caroline O'Connor ALL getting bumped out of the last featured actress slot.
Shows that have closed already are usually at a disadvantage come nomination morning. So I'm not really surprised at the SIGNIFICANT OTHER snubs. It wasn't really a show that appealed to the( mostly older) Tony nominating committee.

I'm so upset that Gideon Glick didn't get a nomination. His performance was absolutely heartbreaking, and he represented a younger demographic. He deserved a nomination, at least.
I'm glad many here beat me to it. I have never felt such rage as this. To not honor Gideon Glick for his performance in Significant Other is outrageous. This guy didn't leave the stage for over two hours and gave, IMHO, a beautiful, touching performance. I almost feel like not watching the ceremony. I won't name names but there are 2 nominations in that category that I don't get. And I saw both of them.
Nothing left to say. Except, shame on you whoever does this "nominating".
