Dear Evan Hansen is great and all, but it may be a tad overrated, so I hope it doesn't steal every single tony. The hardest for me to choose out of is best revival of a musical, because they are all so amazing! (Except for cats, which was sub-par.) I'm also hoping that Gavin Creel wins best featured actor for Hello Dolly, because I have always admired his work, and he truly deserves it.

Thinking a bit more on my earlier Special Tony question... does anybody think they might honor Glenn Close with a Special award this season?

Honestly, why should they? They already honored her when she won for the original production.

Right, and that certainly makes sense. My logic is that she's returned to an iconic role to mammoth fanfare and acclaim decades after she did it the first time, and that many argue she would be a contender for the Best Actress Tony yet again today.
Plus, it wouldn't be too unprecedented... for example, Yul Brynner earned a performance Tony as the King in 1952, and they awarded him the Special Tony in 1985 for his thousands upon thousands of performances in the same role. I know it's a different circumstance, of course, but awarding Close was just a passing thought I had!

Personally, I agree that what Ms. Close is doing this year warrants a special Tony Award.

A question I have now regards the Featured Acting in a Play awards.
I've compiled a list of all the possible nominees in both categories, and I'd like to know who may have the best shot at nominations.
Best Featured Actor in a Play:
Michael Aronov-Oslo
Anthony Azizi-Oslo
Anthony Chislom-Jitney
Danny DeVito-The Price
Brandon J. Dirden-Jitney
Nathan Lane-The Front Page
Michael McKean-The Little Foxes
John Douglas Thompson-Jitney
Best Featured Actress in a Play:
Barbara Barrie-Significant Other
Johanna Day-Sweat
Sas Goldberg-Significant Other
Kristine Nielsen-Present Laughter
Michelle Wilson-Sweat
Is there anyone else who should be included on these lists?

Is Lindsay Mendez in SO lead or featured actress?

It hasn't been determined but I would say the only leading role is Gideon Glick's.

Gotcha, thanks (and I'd agree with you there!).

I'd have to imagine some actors from Indecent have shots as nominations, and who knows what kind of roles Jayne Houdyshell and Condola Rashad have but they could be possibilities.
There's also the supporting cast for The Little Foxes (unless Richard Thomas and Michael McKeon are considered leading.)
I can also see an actor or two getting a nom from The Play That Goes Wrong.

Oh, I hope so! Dave Hearn would be the likeliest bet among that group, in my opinion.

Funny because I think Henry Shields or Henry Lewis could be possible nominees. They're all doing great work so I would be pleased if anyone from the cast is nominated.

I'm assuming she's featured. I didn't list her because I'm not sure if she has a shot at a nomination. Does anyone think she does?

I absolutely think she does—more so than Barrie in my opinion. To me, Mendez delivered the other standout performance in the show aside from Glick.

If anyone in Sweat is leading, it's Johanna Day. But not sure how it'll go.

Depends on how good it is, but probably a long shot.

If SJB dosen't win this year there will be hell to pay. I've been a nice guy up until now for 9 years.

I think Stephanie J. Block will be nominated this year, but won't win since Falsettos will still be long gone by June 11th.

I'm very interested seeing if Christian Borle gets nominated, and if so for what show. I thought he would be nominated for Wonka since that show would still be running but judging from the reviews....

JK you try my patience. My girl (I had to turn her down cause I'm married way back), better win a Tony this year or I'm going to blow up the world.

Jon Jon Briones
Josh Groban
Andy Karl
David Hyde Pierce
Ben Platt

I'm gonna be honest, if Christian Borle gets nominated for Falsettos, I'll be shocked. Compared to Block, Uranowitz, and even Rannells, his performance was the least impactful. I know Briones, Groban, and Platt are locks for nominations (probably Andy Karl too), but I wonder who else would be nominated.
