Yeah, I think it's a safe bet that she'll be nominated... and right now I think the fifth will be Rebecca Naomi Jones.
Though I dream of a world where Caitlin Kinnunen sneaks in there! And with the Beetlejuice show updates and the praise she got in DC, Sophia Anne Caruso could definitely be a wild card - I think it'll depend entirely on how the critics take to the show as a whole.

I wouldn't count out Samantha Barks as a wild card in order to give a nod to PRETTY WOMAN.
Personally, I'm frusterated they declared Brooks and Beth's charachters in The Prom leading. Yes the two of them have two big numbers each but Caitlin Kinunnen's charachter is really the emphasis of the show and much more "leading" compared to Brooks and Beth's. All that aside, the two of them would've definetly gotten nominated if they were considered featured and I could've see Beth winning, depending on how they declared the Hadestown role's elegibility. Beth willl likely get nominated, unless they see her role as too small and opt for Caitlin instead which I doubt will happen, I just love an underrdog story and she's an aboslute sweetheart and gave a great performance, she's just not Beth Leavel, who people would be more inclined to see the show for. Brooks probably won't get nominated but I do hope Chris Sieber gets a nod for featured.
I definitely see Beth getting nominated, Brooks seems likely but I'm not setting it in stone till some new shows open. I doubt Chris will be recognized if anything Angie Schworer, given her role to the show, and the theatre community- but I highly doubt it.
I don't think Company would've been a lock this season. Oklahoma has great reviews and is a completely reimagined production, which has tended to score in the revival category recently (The Color Purple, Once On This Island, Pippin). Roundabout's last two musical revivals (She Loves Me, On The Twentieth Century) were very well received too.
Is Lilli Cooper a lead in Tootsie? She got good reviews out of town and could ride a wave of love for that show to a nomination.
I think Brooks definitely has a shot considering the competition.
Just listing all the lead actors:
Santino Fontana
Brooks Ashmanskas
Will Chase
Derrick Baskin
Alex Brightman
Andy Karl
Will Roland
Reeve Carney
Patrick Page?
I think Reeve is the safest one to take off the table (bless his heart). But to me it seems there are not too many male leads, giving even Andy Karl a shot (I think if pretty woman gets a single nomination it will be him).
Where they place Patrick Page is the real mystery, right? Is there anyone I'm forgetting?

Lead Actress is the most interesting in my opinion. I think it's between Kelli and SJB. Kelli already has a tony and SJB has yet to win one (She deserved one for Falsettos) so we shall see how this goes
Mary Testa, “Oklahoma!”- Amber Gray, ”Hadestown”- Stephanie Styles, “Kiss Me, Kate” Ali Stroker, “Oklahoma!” Micaela Diamond, “The Cher Show”
Tough competition between Mary and Amber "
I could see Sarah Stiles getting in - she seemed to show up as a standout in a lot of the Chicago Tootsie reviews/buzz. Not to mention Leslie Kritzer who critics tend to love. Hard to make a call without seeing all of these yet!
I would definitely like to see Micaela Diamond get a nod, though. I am still thinking about her performance in particular from TCS. She totally killed it.
Edit: I didn't mention the Featured Actors, but I would strongly consider some of the Tootsie men in that as well. If the show is well-reviewed, I think they'd get in before Jarrod Spector.... and George Salazar too, if the nominating committee wants to risk the wrath of the BMC stans.
(Could be Caitlin Kinnunen or even Sophia Anne Caruso if Beetlejuice gets decent reviews)
Best lead actor:
Santino Fontana (W)
Damon Daunno
Will Chase
Brooks Ashmankas Derrick Baskin (There isn’t a ton of competition in this one but Brooks or Derrick could be replaced)
Featured actor:
Patrick Page (W)
Christopher Sieber
Patrick Vail
John Behlmann
George Salazar
(I would say maybe Corbin Bleu for George but I really think they’ll give BMC stans this one)
Featured Actress is the toughest one:
Amber Gray
Mary Testa and/or Ali Stroker
Lilli Cooper or Sarah Stiles (I don’t think both)
Stephanie Styles
Maybe Micaela Diamond
Also I’m surprised no one has mentioned Angie Schworer in this category. Her role probably isn’t big enough to get a nom but definitely think they could do an actor from the Prom in all categories. (And ever since Mike Faist got that nom in 2017 I count no one out).
Not sure the winner on this one but front runner is Amber Gray.
