OP, I had to laugh at (and appreciate) your lack of cast members from It Shoulda Been You.

I'd definitely add Sydney Lucas from Fun Home, and I wouldn't count out Beth Malone or the "new" Middle Alison from the same show.

The young man that played Peter in Finding Neverland at the preview I attended was also particularly good, though not the kind of performance that generally gets nominated.

Sweet Jesus, I hope Jackie Hoffman doesn't get nominated. I generally love everything she does, but wow was she bad in OTT.

Yeah, in the old days we had one single thread for every category. It was certainly easier.

"All in favor of creating a collective, SINGLE Tony prediction thread… say I"

"Yeah, in the old days we had one single thread for every category. It was certainly easier."

To me, it seems easier to separate the discussions. Each category is inevitably going to spark so many independent opinions and disagreements. Isn't it easier to keep track of when they are in different threads?

I don't think that Tony Danza will be nominated for Honeymoon, Nancy Opel has a very good chance.

I would also suggest David St Louis from Side Show.

Mmm, no. Cause now we have like, 14 different Tony prediction threads.

these categories can go in so many different directions. Its tough with featured. Also, you're missing the actors in Shoulda Been You, and Mary Beth Peil from The Visit
