I think this is why Bernadette is getting an honorary award. The committee must have known what was coming.
So she is, in fact, being honored.
EDIT: So three of the four Follies leads, plus Jayne Houdyshell.

Posted: 5/1/12 at 8:42amTyne Daly deserved a nom for Master Class. Larroquette should have gotten the nom over JEJ.

"Porgy and Bess" for orchestrations? Boo. Of all the desecrations that production has committed, the awful, awful orchestra reduction was what bugged me the most. Disappointing that they would be honored for doing that.
And what does it say about the state of Broadway music that in a season with 8 new musicals, half of the Best Score nominations come from straight plays?

Posted: 5/1/12 at 8:43amNo Bernadette Peters! I really wanted a nomination for her! Damn! Although, Spider-Man got something. I thought they were going to be left out all together.

SO thrilled for Laura Osnes, and for the fact that they realized BONNIE & CLYDE actually had a better score then half the shows running right now.
No Paige for FOLLIES, not she I think she really deserved it, but still shocking.
But really so so happy for Osnes.

Posted: 5/1/12 at 8:43amReally? You thought Elaine Paige deserved a Tony for her performance???

There were a lot of omissions, but there were also a lot of deserving performances this year. Someone had to lose out.
I must say that I'm not disappointed at all in the acting nominations.

Posted: 5/1/12 at 8:44amPaige absolutely deserved a nomination. I am happy for Houdyshell. And almost shocked that she got a nomination for a 3 minute song and less than 10 lines. She was great though.
