Why not? you could at least give it to Aaron Lazar, Jonathan Pryce, Ashley Brown, and Eden Espinosa!

If you're talking about the Tonys, I believe it's to be annouced at the awards ceremony with no nominations... I think I read that a while back, but I could be wrong.

Yup, there's no award in that category this year.

Here's a thread with essentially the same name as this one...Also on the first page hehe.

I find that really frustrating.

I wish they had put that bill through.

The award would have validated the continuing success and popularity of a number of roles and shows (otherwise, even if they win Best Musical or Best Play, the validation sort of stops there unless you count weekly grosses et al...)

I would have loved to have seen it!
oh well

There were alot of great replacements this year!

How about Harvey in Fiddler? Simon Russel Beale in SpamAlot? John O'Hurley in Chicago. I could go on for days!
