Even Nathan isn't nominated.

Because it sucks.

[sundayclothes2]

Kevin Chamberlin was.

So was Lippa.

I'm sure the two stars will be in a friendly mood this morning.

^ I don't think they were expecting anything...

What Jordan said.

I highly doubt that, sundayclothes2. Especially if the people in question are Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth.

It sucked, but Lane certainly deserved a nomination over Chad Kimball.

They'll console themselves with their $1.3 million weekly grosses.

More like they will console themselves with their paychecks!!

Do you people even know what being "shutout" means?

Posted: 5/4/10 at 10:42am

Apparently not.

I think the lack of any design nominations really baffling- even people who hated the show seemed to find kind words for the sets & costumes. I am glad for Chamberlin- I thought his performance was inspired.

LOL "Lock" and "shutout" are certainly the buzz words to be ignorantly dropped at abandon to desperately sound intelligent and ahead of the curve. I guess you can use them for anything. La Cage and Fela were totally SHUT OUT! So was Fences! And Angela Lansbury is a LOCK for being SHUT OUT. Carrie Fisher was SHUT OUT of a LOCK! Gina Gershon SHUT the LOCK of her LOCKED SHUT OUT!!

It's amazing ADDAMS and IDIOT were shutout.

Spot on, Namo, spot-on!

Michael Riedel's laughin' it up right about now, that's for sure.

say what you will, but this is a (MUCH DESERVED) shut out.
yes, they got 2 nominations... supporting actor (whatever) and score (which pretty much HAD to be nominated to round out a full category (i mean, really? even had to start nominating plays with a little bit of music.))

This is a 9 to 5 shut out, maybe worse?

congrats.

It's like there is an epidemic case of the STOOPIDS today.

a shut out, in this case, as its been in years past, are "big shows" that are snubbed for major awards (ie- best musical, book, lead actors)

[FindingNamo]

Ohhhhhhhh, tanx for splainin that.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 5/4/10 at 2:08pm

9 TO 5 looks like SWEENEY TODD compared to THE ADDAMS FAMILY.

But yeah, Lane deserved the nomination over Kimball for sure. And Jackie Hoffman deserved a nomination. Kevin Chamberlin was fine but I guess the Featured Actor category was slim anyway. Although I would've loved to see Stark Sands take Chamberlin's slot.

There is no "this case." That's NOT WHAT IT MEANS. You are misusing the term.

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 5/4/10 at 2:13pm

How about "just this one special case"? Or maybe two?
