A questionable move..........no extension for plays I guess.......a very limited field .........really helps Jake Gyllenhaal who had two plays open in repertory (Sea Wall/A Life - I saw Sea Wall he better not win for THAT) and could steal a Tony and Laura Linney (My Name is Lucy Barton) who could also. Gyllenhaal never nodded and Linney a 4 time nominee. No announcement on nominations yet. The full list of non-musical plays is below.   Sea Wall/ A Life Height of the Storm Great Society Linda Vista The Sound Inside The Inheritance A Christmas Carol My Name is Lucy Barton Grand Horizons Slave Play www.billboard.com/articles/news/awards/9438228/tony-awards-go-digital-2020 |

Love seeing Jane Alexander (80) and Lois Smith (89) both nominated - has 2 80y/os ever been nom'd in the same acting category at the Tonys? Actually..... is Smith the oldest ever or...?
Also love seeing the David Alan Grier nom - his 4th! Underrated actor.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical
Aaron Tveit, Moulin Rouge!*
Is this a default win?

Glad to see Jake the Snake finally get his break with the Tonys. That's a strong bunch in Best Actor in a Play. Could reasonably see any of those guys taking it home.

So fucking thrilled for Lois Smith. She's been a favorite character actress of mine forever, and I still think she was robbed when she lost the Emmy for The Americans. |

Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical Aaron Tveit, Moulin Rouge!* Is this a default win?No more so than Scott Rudin just paying off the Tony committee with a big check  ....... He theoretically could "not win" see bold below...but he will..............the Tony awards are a joke - far worse than the Emmys or Oscars which is really saying something - since at least the mid 90s onward (for all 3 awards actually). "If the Tony Awards Nominating Committee has determined that if there is only one nominee in a category listed, such category shall be submitted to the Tony Voters which may, by the affirmative vote of sixty (60%) percent of the total ballots cast, grant an Award in that category," a note reads.

Interesting because often for the Tonys a play that is playing when they have the show wins - or an actor/actress does.......but now that of course can't happen - there will be a lot of campaigning to somehow "steal" a win in an already weak year anyway. Some of these shows you'd be asking people to remember from 13-14 months ago.....
The voting period will run from March 1 to March 15. Although Broadway remains officially closed until June, most insiders don’t expect any stagings before fall at the earliest, with timing contingent on widespread Covid-19 vaccinations.deadline.com/2021/01/broadway-tony-awards-broadcast-schedule-coincide-reopening-voting-march-1234683307/ |

Wow, isn't she in her 90's? I think she's younger than Angela Lansbury though.

David Alan Grier won for A Soldier’s Play, yayyyy.
Recently announced he’ll be in a tv adaptation of the play…. And he was in the original movie adaptation too. How many actors have appeared in the same material across film/stage/AND tv?
Very good, very funny actor
