That's right, the nominations are in! Spring Awakening tops the list with 21 nomination, a record breaker. Some of the nominations are a bit odd, but hey, that's Broadway.com. Go vote!
Ohh wow, some of those noms are a little strange. I mean, I love the music in Spring Awakening, but 4 songs from that show and then ONE from another show. Interesting...
No, it was eligible, it's just Broadway.com You know it's Broadway.com when Laura "Bland" Bundy and Lea Michelle get nominated over Donna Murphy.

4 Song Noms for Spring Awakening? Come on? SA is not the only good score this year.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
All right, I liked Spring Awakening a lot, but some of those nominations are absurd. Remy for Best Breakout Performance? She sings two lines of "My Junk."
No Donna Murphy?! No LoveMusik Nod!? What is wrong with the world?!

the new broadway song choices are interesting....no another winter in a summer town? i miss the music? anything that isn't from spring awakening? (not that i'm against it) but come on people.
WTF? 4 songs from Spring Awakening and "Omigod You Guys"?????????
I hope SPRING AWAKENING dosen't make an underserved sweep. I saw both it and GREY GARDENS this January, and while I do think it should win Best Musical, GG should get Score and Book.
I have several names, one is Julian2. I am also The Opps Girl. But cross me, and I become Bitch Dooku!
The new song category made me laugh...in a very sad way. Pick ANY song from GREY GARDENS and it's better than that headache-inducing opening number from LEGALLY BLONDE. And the twenty million nominations for SPRING AWAKENING are just laughable. NO DONNA MURPHY?! I still can't get over it. But RockabyeHamlet is right...this is the website that gave us "Word of Mouth."

Watch. When the winners are announced, Laura Bell Bundy will win Best Actress, and My Junk will win Best Song.
Ugh.

Spring Awakening's critical acclaim is not in dispute. And now the SA nay-sayers are complaining that in addition to the overwhelming support of theatre critics, SA has audience support as well?
Teka- I don't think anyone is mad that SA has audience support, but it's the fans of SA who think it's the greatest thing ever to hit a Broadway stag and deserves every single award it can possiby get. That's what people are getting anoyyed with.
