Here are the Tony Award nominations. The most notable ommission is Cherry Jones for Faith Healer, probably because people couldn't agree on whether she shuold be a lead or supporting. (The Tonys said supporting, but if you thought she should be a lead, you might be disinclined to give her your vote, however good you thought she was.)Here are my predictions:
Best Play -- The History Boys (but what a great year for plays)
Best Musical -- Jersey Boys (lots of love for The Drowsy Chaperone, but Jersey Boys is a sure bet on tour and that's the biggest block of voters. After feeling suckered by Avenue Q, they're not gonna support the perhaps Broadway-only appeal of Drowsy.)
Best Book of a Musical -- Consolation prize for Drowsy, though Marshall Brickman may steal it for Jersey)
Best Score -- Drowsy Chaperone
Best Revival, Play -- Faith Healer
Best Revival, Musical -- The Pajama Game
Best Actor, Play -- Richard Griffiths (History Boys)
BestActress, Play -- Cynthia Nixon (Rabbit Hole)
Best Actor, Musical -- Harry Connick Jr. (Pajama Game)
Best Actress Musical -- Sutton Foster (Drowsy)
Best Featured Actor, Play -- Ian McDiarmid (Faith - though my heart belongs to Samuel Barnett for History)
Best Featured Actress, Play -- Frances De La Tour (History -- but that's just my hope; toughest category to call and I haven't seen Tyne Daly in Rabbit Hole or Zoe Wanamaker in Awake and Sing; either one could take it)
Best Featured Actor, Musical -- Manoel Felciano (Sweeney Todd, though Jim Dale in Threepenny could be the winner)
Best Featured Actress, Musical -- no idea; let me get back to you
Best Director, Play -- Nicholas Hytner (History)
Best Director, Musical -- Kathleen Marshall (Pajama)
