2018 Tony Awards -- YOUR Picks?

Make your pick in the survey for 15 of the 26 categories in the 72nd annual Tony Awards.

This is for who and what YOU want to win, not who you think the Tony voters will pick — preference, not prediction.

Can we see the results? I just input all my preferences and would love to see what others are saying!

BConcierge, the software doesn't allow automatic posting of the results. I'll post the results after enough people have taken the survey.

Feel free to use this thread to state some of your preferences and start a debate.

I feel like consensus is pretty well-met for many of these categories.

I am continually surprised at how many think OOTI deserves Best Revival of a Musical over My Fair Lady, though.

And I personally would give the Tony to Anthony Boyle over Nathan Lane.

I'll post the results May 9th. As of now, the front runner is way ahead in every category except numbers 10 and 11 (best featured actor in a musical, and best featured actress in a play)

At this point, just to update, Denise Gough has now scooted ahead in best featured actress in a play, with Nova Dumerzweni of Harry Potter second, and Laurie Metcalfe third.

I don't understand this. I thought Metcalfe provided a looseness to Three Tall Women that was a nice counterpoint to Glenda Jackson's gravity.

As for best featured actor in a musical, Gavin Lee of SpongeBob is only a little ahead of Norbert Leo Butz of My Fair Lady. This too surprises me since Lee has the showstopping number of the season, while Butz's was also over-the-top, but weird -- what were bearded drag queen Folies Bergere dancers doing in there?

Thanks for doing this survey. I'm hoping this is how the Tonys go.

It's actually looking like it may be so. I've never seen the front runners so far ahead. And almost all these choices were also the picks of the critics who've expressed their preferences so far (such as the Times's Brantley and Green.) Of course, public taste and critical taste don't necessarily coincide with Tony voter taste.
