I vote
Tovah (she should have won for Golda's Balcony...what a shame...Rashad was very good in '...Raisin' but Tovah was simply breathtaking as Golda) and
Jane Greenwood...should have won for '...Woolf'
I
believe Tim Curry is Tony-less so, if he is, he's on my list for sure.
Kerry Butler deserved two Tony nods and one win. She should have been nominated for BOTH Hairspray and Little Shop (more so Hairspray, though because '04 was a BIG year for leading women and it would have been hard for her to squeeze in among the stellar, stunning performances of Menzel, Cheno, Murphy, and Pinkins)...and she should have won for Hairspray...she may not have had a huge entrance like Krakowski but she can out-sing Krakowski any day.
Although he hasn't done many shows that have given him a lot of material to work with,
Taye Diggs is a great actor/singer and should have a Tony.
Also,
Stephen Schwartz deserves a Tony (probably for Pippin) and
Winnie Holzman deserved one for 'Wicked'. Sorry, but she had a much harder premise/plot heavy story to deal with compared to Q and dealt with it very well. Between her and Whitty's books, there is no contest in my mind.
And finally,
Janine Tesori. She should have won for Caroline as her score for Millie was mostly blah.
