Actor in play - Bryan Cranston

" I feel like Daniel Fish has a good shot at best direction with "Oklahoma!" since it's innovative and reimagined

I agree.

I completely forgot about Choir Boy! I know someone who saw it, and they LOVED it! Hopefully, it gets recognition.

YES! I was able to see Rachel Bay Jones in DEH, Jenn Colella in Come From Away, Stephanie J Block in the PBS broadcast of Falsettos, and Kate Baldwin in "Hello, Dolly!". In my opinion, all of the nominees were more deserving than RBJ. Stephanie was the most in mine though.

Simply based on this short video, I think that Kiss Me, Kate/Warren Carlyle will be the frontrunner for Best Choreography:

And apparently the Tootsie choreo is particularly smart. Should be a good race! The more worthy nominees, the better.

I’m not convinced this is enough to make it front runner, as this is by far the biggest dance number in the show, so it is unlikely to be sustained throughout the show.

Fair enough. “Frontrunner” is premature, although I don’t doubt it will be in the running.

What about Ain't Too Proud...that will be probably nominated along with Tootsie, Hadestown and The Cher Show.

Not to mention Spencer Liff, who surely deserves a nomination for his work on Head Over Heels.

I think HOH will be forgotten about once TONY time comes around but we'll see

Unless, two actors get exactly the same number of votes in the fifth spot, then it will be five.
For me, the locks for this category are Jeff Daniels, Bryan Cranston, and Paddy Considine. Im sure Jeremy Pope get a nomination too but Ill wait until reviews come out tonight to say he’s a lock. Last spots will probably go to Michael Urie, Nathan Lane, or Jim Parsons.

Mike Barrett said: "Bertie Carvel maybe?"
Carvel won the Olivier for Best Supporting Actor, and by all accounts it's not the lead role. And I'm sure he's learned his lesson after the last time he was on Broadway in an acclaimed London import (Matilda) –– got nominated in Leading for a Supporting performance, and then didn't win.
