Although I'm not projecting an upset I'd like to say how I enjoy this topic. Nothing is more exciting than a JERSEY BOYS Christian Hoff upset of sorts. It makes the night. Especially when it goes to a hardworking cast member who arrives believing the nomination will be it. If I were to venture a guess I'm thinking at the 11th hour THE KING & I will win an award viewed as a minor surprise.
I feel like Best Actor in a Play is the category that could lend itself to a surprise winner. There's been some unexpected winners in the past few years (James Corden, Tracy Letts) and this year might be no different, with Boyer, Nighy, or Cooper all poised to swoop in and win over Sharp.
It's funny to me that a lot of the predictions articles have singled out Cooper as someone who would win in any other year. I'm not counting him out just yet.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I think Fun Home will lose Best Musical but win the most Tonys.

Would Christian Borle winning really be an upset? Is he not a front runner for his category? Why do people seem to think Andy Karl will win (I'd be delighted if he did, but I don't know why he is being considered a front runner for this race)?
