missing from outer critics circle are...

Eden Espinosa (for shame...not the best show, but puh-leeze...the girl can sing)

either of the AMAZING performances in the revival of Night, Mother.

Maureen McGovern in Little Women.

lots of other people being forgotten, too...but these three just really irritated me, so I had to vent.

Gem cast. A damn shame, man. A damn shame.

I copy from the incomparable Margo Channing:

Some omissions (not all are surprising):

-- Spelling Bee (except for Fogler)
-- The Frogs
-- The Rivals
-- Steel Magnolias
-- Thom Pain
-- Orson's Shadow
-- A Number
-- The entire cast of Gem of the Ocean
-- The entire cast of La Cage
-- The entire cast of Democracy
-- John C. Reilly
-- John Lithgow
-- Bill Irwin
-- Adam Arkin
-- Christina Applegate
-- Liev Schreiber
-- Jessica Lange
-- Denzel Washington
-- Hank Azaria
-- David Hyde-Pierce
-- Christian Borle
-- Chris Sieber
-- Gregory Jbara
-- Maureen McGovern
-- Mireille Enos

And one really odd inclusion:
Walter Bobbie for Sweet Charity??? Over Miyamoto and James Lapine or even Zaks and Stroman?

---

The entire cast of Dessa Rose!
especially Rachel York and LaChanze

i havent seen either, but based on what i've heard im surprised that All Shook Up was nominated for outstanding musical and Spelling Bee wasnt!

I'm also really suprised Brooklyn wasn't nominated for Best Costume Design.
