And in general, PS won't get as many nods as you predicted IMO. The non-existent costumes, choreography, and set surely will get overshadowed by YF's towering sets, sharp choreography, and big, colorful costumes. I think PS will get nominated for Musical, Score, Book, Orchestrations, and Supporting Actor. And that's it.

Also, I think Scott is an extreme dark horse.

Tony Yazbeck for Featured/Musical? He doesn't make my list.

buddharich, I guess you liked PS? Robin de Jesus, what does he do to deserve it, NOTHING. The class clown of the show, that's about it. And I don't hate him.

My predictions:

Best Musical: In the Heights, Passing Strange, Xanadu, Catered Affair
Best Actress in a Musical: Patti LuPone, Kelli O'Hara, Jenna Russell, Kerry Butler, Faith Prince

Best Featured Actress in a Musical: Loretta Ables-Sayre, Olga Merediz, Mary Testa, Andrea Martin, Laura Benanti
Best Featured Actor in a Musical: Robin de Jesus, Christopher Fitzgerald, Boyd Gaines, Daniel Breaker, Danny Burstein (Daniel Breaker's spot could be taken by Matt Morrison)
Best Play: August: Osage County, Rock and Roll, The 39 Steps, the Seafarer
Best Actress in a Play: Deanna Dunnagan, Amy Morton, S. Epatha Merkerson, Kate Fleetwood, Eve Best (she may be in the feautred category)
Best Actor in a Play: I go with ilovetheatertrash on this one.
Best Featured Actress in a Play: Rondi Reed and I can't quite put my finger on the rest right now...probably someone from Boeing-Boeing
Best Featured Actor in a Play: i'd go with theatertrash again.
Those are my predictions right now

Rylance is LEADING ACTOR btw

what about :

CHRIS ASHLEY for Directing XANADU (he really should be recognized for what he did there - much more challenging than Passing Strange.)

and

CHEYENNE JACKSON for XANADU

I so want Humbert to be right and for Christopher Ashley and Cheyenne Jackson to get richly deserved nominations! It all depends on who is on this year's committee, and if they recognize that pulling off Xanadu was much harder than really any of the other shows this past year. The original source material is not beloved, but this broadway musical certainly is and should be!!

Has the committee ruled on Kate Fleetwood yet?? (Lead or Featured?) I think she belongs in lead but would more likely win in featured...

I'm not sure it matters which category Kate Fleetwood is placed in (I think it'll be leading), she most likely will not win, as the August ladies will probably clean up the awards. I think Deanna Dunnagan will win leading actress and Rondi Reed featured (she's really quite good and I think she's grown in her role a great deal).

As for Xanadu-the more nods the merrier.

As much as I'd like to see it, do you really think they'll nominate that many actors from The Seafarer? If the committee has a long term memory they should nominate Bobby Cannavale and Alison Pill (because Fleetwood is leading now) for Mauritius.
