Too bad Eden Espinosa didn't win something, although I'm sure everyone who won deserved it.
Hey, go DRS! It better win some tonys! ;D

[GoodWitchGlinda]

I personally really liked the wins. Though Sherie is AMAZING Sutton is just as much. Come Tony time I'll be okay if either win

[ElphieandFiyero]

Yeah, I have to say that up for the tony awards, I would love if either Sutton, Sherie, or Christina wins. Suttons very good, don't get me wrong... love her in Astonshing!
Why couldn't David have gotten nominated?

[wonderfulwizard]

I wish Sho had won!

[DancingElphie]

Doesn't look like any of them will win though. *sigh* From the looks of things as of now, Victoria Clark for Light in the Piazza is almost sure to win, as the show will probably be a heavy favorite. Sutton, as of buzz right now, is the only one with a decent chance besides Clark, but that could change by next week! Idina wasn't favored for a while either (Tonya Pinkins (I misspelled that...) was for Caroline or Change). We still could have an upset though!

[GoodWitchGlinda]

Yeah, I've heard Victoria Clark was a favorite. But last year, Wicked was almost postive to win best musical, but avenue q did (still a bit disappointed...lol). And, as u mentioned, Idina wasn't favored either. And I think Sherie still has an okay chance. My main must have is Norbert for best actor, because he works his butt off and just totally deserves to win

[stars in the sky]

Norbert should totally get best actor, and he's definitely a favorite for it, I believe.

[ElphieatShiz]

Just like it was a tough competition for leading women, I think this year it's a tough competition for leading men. It's difficult to predict a winner I think.

[DancingElphie]

I'm pretty sure Norbert is a lock for the win. He's won every other award that's been announced so far. I can see him winning, even though leading man is stiff competion. I think that leading actress is tougher this year. It ws an amazing year all over Broadway, so most everything isn't a lock. Best Actor isn't one of those, not in my opinion anyway.

[ElphieatShiz]

I just can't take sides. So, it may be easy for others to choose, but I think most of the nominees should win *shrugs* You never know about locked in winners, since there could be an upset. That's why I think it will be difficult to pick a winner. Just my opinion. I participated in the Audience Awards voting and there was a HUGE list of men in the Leading Actor category as compared to the women list. Very hard to decide the nominees for the final voting.

[stars in the sky]

DRS, Norbert, John, Joey, Wicked (of course), and Spelling Bee all TOTALLY deserved it!

Don't forget, though, that everyone was saying that about Wicked last year. Let's hope they don't pull another Avenue Q, but don't be too sure - even people who despise Wicked expected it to win.

[stars in the sky]

Even the Tony folks did-- I read somewhere that "Wicked" flashed on the screen for a moment after they announced the winner before they realized it was Avenue Q.
