I think there's going to be a lot of splitsvilles happening here, with the major awards going to Dirty Rotten, Piazza, Bee and Spamalot fairly evenly.
Dirty Rotten will take Best Actor and is a possible book/score winner, maybe even direction.
Spamalot will win Best Musical (I don't agree but it will) and Feat Actress
Piazza will take home score and Best Actress (also, I think, lighting)
Bee will win Book and possibly score, along with feat actor

I think it's going to be a very spread out awards season. I would go with my gut and say Bee's going to sweep the Big three (book, score, best musical) but I don't think the out-of-town voting block is going to fall for anything other than a bona-fide blockbuster this year.
