"um no. Kristine Nielsen for Best Featured Actress "

Thank you. Judith Ivey was FINE. Kristine Nielsen was a revelation.

I think that FEATURED ACTRESS IN A MUSICAL is going to be a hot race.
Andrea Martin PIPPIN
Analeigh Ashford KINKY BOOTS
Keala Settle HANDS ON A HARD BODY
Dale Soules HANDS ON A HARD BODY
Jessie Mueller MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD
Lauren Ward MATILDA
Victoria Clark CINDERELLA

All of those could be considered a 'lock' or have a very good shot. Personally I would be thrilled if JM was nominated for DROOD....that was a sublime performance.

I agree undercoveractor in so much as I think Featured Actress will be a race for the nomination. But I've never been as sure of a lock as I am not that I've seen Andrea Martin.

I'd guess the other nominees to be:
Annaleigh Ashford KINKY BOOTS
Keala Settle HARDBODY
Jessie Mueller DROOD
and then a hard-fought battle for the fifth slot between Lauren Ward in MATILDA, Victoria Clark in CINDERELLA, and Valisia LeKae in MOTOWN (I think the last spot will depend very, very much on which show has the most momentum). I will go out on a limb and say Ward gets it.

[Sauja]

Posted: 4/3/13 at 4:24pm

WAIT! How did I forget Chita?!?! I'll call the fifth slot hers instead.

I feel more confident about my Best Actor in a Musical picks which would be:
Anthony Warlow-Annie
Rob McClure-Chaplin
Billy Porter – Kinky Boots
Santino Fontana – Cinderella
Brandon Victor Dixon - Motown

I think matilda will sweep the board... It's not groundbreaking but as a piece of entertainment and a production as a whole it's flawless, it is the rsc after all

I love and admire Chita Rivera as much as anybody, but for me she was a big disappointment in DROOD. Maybe it is because I loved Cleo Laine so much, I'm not sure....but I think if she gets a nomination it will be more because she is beloved and less about her performance.
Just my opinion.

I feel it will be more Mrs. Wormwood for the featured actress slot as opposed to Miss Honey. Wormwood has the showier role. Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood will be nominated for featured actor/actress, and Bertie Carvel should be nominated for Leading Actor.

I'd love to see Bring It On get the up-in-the-air nom for best musical... it certainly wasn't deep, brilliant theatre but I left grinning from ear to ear and had a really great time. Plus, it's unique, which I appreciated.

It'd be cool if Patina Miller and Bertie Carvel both won. Gender bender Tonys! (I haven't seen Matilda yet but I thought Miller knocked it out of the park. I liked but didn't love her in Sister Act but I thought she was just fabulous in Pippin.)

[Sauja]

Posted: 4/4/13 at 8:34am

Musicaldudepeter, do you really feel like Bertie Carvel had a lead role? I know he won Best Actor at the Oliviers, but that reeks of category fraud to me. It's a role that calls a lot of attention to itself, but it's really a rather small part.

I could certainly understand if the producers WANT him as Lead Actor as there's much less competition in that category this year, but he's below title, and I don't know if I can imagine a petition to make him lead being successful.

Curious what others think!

[WhatIWasBorn2Do]

Posted: 4/4/13 at 8:36am

As nice as his performance was, I dont think Santino Fontana has any reason to be nominated. The other performers you mentioned were much better and more dynamic.

[jayinchelsea]

Posted: 4/4/13 at 9:29am

For me, of all the nominees mentioned, Kristine is the one I most want to see get the award. She was amazing.

[WhizzerMarvin]

Posted: 4/4/13 at 9:35am

I think on the whole the nominations will be more interesting this year than the winners.

Duh, Andrea Martin will win, but who will make the grade to be nominated against her.

[Musicaldudepeter]

Posted: 4/4/13 at 9:35am

Sauja, there's a separate thread dedicated to Carvel's situation as lead or featured actor - check it out

But in my opinion, they'll want to strategically place their actors in Matilda as much as possible to ensure multiple wins, and when it comes down to it, there is no leading male role, and of the two, Mr. Wormwood is the more 'featured' part, therefore Carvel I would imagine will be slotted into the Leading category... could be wrong though.

Frontrunner is denoted with an *

Musical:

Best Musical:
Matilda*
Kinky Boots
Hands on a Hardbody (If it remains open through nominations)
A Christmas Story

If Hands on a Hardbody does not stay open through nominations I believe Bring It ON will get the nomination

Best Revival of a Musical:
Annie
The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Pippin*
Cinderella

Best Actor Musical:
Billy Porter in Kinky Boots*
Hunter Foster in Hands on a Hardbody (If he is determined to be a lead which I think he is since although the show focuses on all of the contestants he has 4 songs compared to the rest of them having 1 as well as most of the conflict outside of he actual conflict is brought about by his character)
Rob McLure in Chaplin
Anthony Warlow in Annie
Santino Fontana in Cinderella

*If Hunter Foster is moved to supporting then I think Brandon Victor Dixon in Motown

Best Actress in a Musical:
Laura Osnes in Cinderella*
Lilla Craford in Annie
Stephanie J. Block in The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Patina Miller in Pippin
The Matildas

If the nominating committee rules 4 actors cannot be jointly nominated which I believe they should...I believe Carolee Carmello will get nominated for her outstanding and better performance in Scandalous

Featured Actress:
Andrea Martin in Pippin*
Analeigh Ashford in Kinky Boots*
Keala Settle in Hands on a Hardbody
Victoria Clark or Ann Harada in Cinderella (I have a feeling Clark's Costume is going to be her Achilles Heel because you forget about her performance and instead think of Harada's one liners)
Jessie Meuller in The Mystery of Edwin Drood although I think Ryann Redmond may steal a nomination like she stole the show.

Featured Actor:
Bertie Carval in Matilda*
Will Chase in The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Gregory Haney in Bring It On!
David Larson in Hands on a Hardbody
Andy Karl's Eyebrows in The Mystery of Edwin Drood

If Hunter Foster is determined to be Supporting he will bump Andy Karl's eyebrows' nomination since their owner decided to depart the show for Jersey Boys instead of closing the show and I think the nominators will take note of that.

Director:
Matthew Warchus- Matilda*
Diane Paulus - Pippin
Jerry Mitchell - Kinky Boots
Josh Rhodes - Hands on a Hardbody

Choreography:
Josh Rhodes - Cinderella
Sergio Trujillo- Hands on a Hardbody

Gypsy Snider/Chet Walker - Pippin* (If Circus material is ruled as choreography if not Matilda will get the nomination)


Best Score:
Matilda*
Kinky Boots
Hands on a Hardbody
A Christmas Story

*If Hardbody closes before nomination I think Bring It on will get its nomination

Matilda
Kinky Boots

Hands on a Hardbody

Matilda*
Kinky Boots
Bring It On
Cinderella

Costumes:
Cinderella*

Pippin
Kinky Boots


Best Play:
VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE*
Lucky Guy
The Nance
The Assembled Parties

Best Revival of a Play:
Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? *(Essentially a lock for a win as well since its cast will likely get snubbed due to the show no long being open)
Macbeth
Golden Boy
The Trip to Bountiful/Orphans/Cyrano


Best Actor in a Play:
Tracy Letts in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Tom Hanks in Lucky Guy*
Alan Cumming in Macbeth

Featured Actress:
Carrie Coon in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?*
Judith Ivey in The Heiress
Judith Light in The Assembled Parties
Shalita Grant in VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE*
Jenni Barber in The Nance (I think her nomination will also be recognition to The Performers as a whole)

Pam MacKinnon for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?*
George C. Wolfe for Lucky Guy
Nicholas Martin for VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE
John Tiffany/Andrew Goldberg for Macbeth

What about Caroline O'Connor in ACS?

[disneybroadwayfan22]

Posted: 4/4/13 at 12:45pm

Wait, when they announced that Osnes and Fontana are considered for Tony nominations, it was only those 2, so I don't think that Victoria or Ana will be nominated. And that's too bad too :/ Clarke was great in the Macy Parade.

Anyway, to add on to BDN'S post I think Laura Ward and/or Lesli M. will be nominated for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. And as much as I love Laura and I can't wait for her to get a Tony, I HIGHLY doubt that she'll win. I think it's a tie between the Matildas and Patina Miller, but I think it may be the Matildas. Additionally, Matilda will be nominated for Best Cheography. Also, I'm guessing Bertie will be nominated for Best Leading Actor, but like Osnes, he has serious competition with Billy Porter. So, I think it would be better for the producers for him to get Featured Actor.

I also think Annie will be nominated for Best Set Design. For Best Direction, Matilda has serious competition with Pippin and I think A. Ashford, so it would be great to finally see her nominated for a Tony.

Has everyone forgot about Chaplin. I think it could replace a lot of Hardbody's predicted noms.

The Nance is a play, not a musical.

[jnb9872]

I just think it's hilarious that, of all the names in VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE, you insistently misspelled the easiest one.

I would imagine, after those KINKY BOOTS reviews, Mitchell is a lock for a choreography nomination.

[GlindatheGood22]

I can't imagine Jessica Chastain getting nominated over Fiona Shaw.

You know what? You're right. Fiona Shaw. I keep changing my mind.
