You forgot about her and so may the nominators, Benanti's nod depends on the shows coming in.
I think Clark and Butler are the most likely to be sure-shots at noms.

[IdinaBellFoster]

Posted: 3/6/11 at 7:46pm

^ Very good point. And yes I'd say that both of them are locks. Clark has a bunch of new material to work with then what was in the London production, hopefully for the better.

Isn't the daughter in WONDERLAND spose to be great?

How can one begin to judge what will be nominated this early in the game? I loved LA BETE but it will be long forgotten come Tony time for Best Revival. Plus we haven't even seen HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES or BORN YESTERDAY yet. So who know how those will turn out, and if THE NORMAL HEART is really just a staged reading, its chances a nomination drop a lot. This seems like such a waste for a great play. It should get a real production, not a glossy reading.

Several people seem to think Lily Rabe has Best Actress in the bag for what is really a supporting role, not at all. She is certainly a contender and gave a great performance, but Frances McDormand just got huge raves for GOOD PEOPLE and we have yet to see what Edie Falco or Nina Arianda will both do in very high calibur roles that have previously picked up a lot of awards attention.

As far as musicals, I wouldn't count out Priscilla getting a nomination. It's big, fun, very polished, and quite satisfying. I see this getting nomination long before any of the closed musicals, WONDERLAND or SISTER ACT, unless they changed a lot since their prior engagements.

Completely forgot about ELF, thank you CapnHook!

A double nomination for Beth Leavel would be interesting, doubt it'll happen.

What are the chances of Mark Rylance getting a double nom in Leading Actor in a Play? He was fantastic in La Bete, and I hear his performance in Jerusalem is even better...

[theatreguy]

Posted: 3/8/11 at 1:59am

It's definitely a possibility, but since he's already a sure bet to be nominated for Jerusalem (and because it's a crowded category) I wouldn't be surprised if some nominators wanted to "spread the love."

I'd say Nikki M. James is a pretty sure bet for a featured actress nod. She's the heart of BOOK OF MORMON.

I'd fall over dead if Tammy Blanchard scored a nomination for that travesty of a performance.

[willep]

Posted: 3/8/11 at 12:29pm

I was thinking that too, theatreguy. It seems to me that Lead Actor in a Play is pretty good category this year.

"I'd fall over dead if Tammy Blanchard scored a nomination"

Well, I guess you better start preparing for the grave.

[americanboy99]

Posted: 3/9/11 at 12:05pm

Have you seen the show, gypsy#12?

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 3/9/11 at 12:41pm

I love Tammy Blanchard. But her performance in HOW TO SUCCEED is....well...let's just say she lands maybe two laughs. I think she's capable of much better in the role too; she just seems to be lacking direction. Same goes for Hanke, who is just annoying. No more, no less.

[Swirly]

Posted: 3/9/11 at 1:29pm

The Book of Mormon
Catch Me If You Can
Priscilla Queen of the Desert (or Bloody Bloody)
Scottsboro Boys (or Bloody Bloody)

I don't know know much about *The People in the Picture* or *Baby, It's You*. They could change it all and sort of hope they do. I would like to see Andrew Jackson in there. Have not seen Wonderland.

Seen HtoS and seeing Anything goes tomorrow.
