Some Tony nominations were read out on CBS at 8:30am. The rest are coming at 9am on YouTube. In the first group, “Good Night Oscar” was left off Best Play, and Laura Linney was excluded from Best Actress in a Play. Linney’s play, “Summer 1976” was also snubbed. Included, which is weird, the book for “New York New York.” There is no book. I think the voters were confused. They left out Susan Stroman, whose direction of that musical saved it from not having a book.
Weird stuff: “Death of a Salesman” omitted from Best Revival of a Play. “The Piano Lesson” omitted from Best Direction of a Play.
Unforgivable: Danielle Brooks from “The Piano Lesson” gave the best performance of the season. She is not nominated for Best Featured Actress in a Play.
keep refreshing…
Stand by for full list…
