If the strike delays enough content for this next season, I could see Black Mirror again dominating longform categories.

Julia is still there too in spite of it not even having released a still yet for its second season.

I just came here to mention that. Sarah Lancashire is still in the top 20 for Comedy Actress, but, unless what is now Max releases the season in the next 8 days (which could theoretically still happen, but particularly doubtful given the strike limiting next season’s content), I don’t think it’s making the current cycle.

No decisions reached at today’s emergency meeting and Tony organizers are making a last-ditch effort to convince the WGA to issue the strike waiver for a June 11 broadcast of the awards ceremony:

I had to go to page 5 to find this thread, but figured I should bump it with the “indefinite reruns” news:

Interestingly, this may even boost Cecily Strong’s supporting campaign, since she’ll have been in a larger percentage of this season.

I am saddened and disappointed at the shutouts for Bad Cinderella and A Beautiful Noise. I am also very relieved at Almost Famous making it in for score. The 3 KPOP nominations were much more suprising to me. Original musicals led the way in nominations, so there should be many competitive categories for wins. And the musical revivals are all evenly matched for nominations as well.

As for plays, I am sorry for only the tech showings for Life of Pi, but, interestingly, it looks it is in good shape to sweep those. Leopoldstadt may just end up winning Best Play, as the acting categories really are anyone’s guess now.

SPECIAL AWARDS

Harold Prince Lifetime Achievement Award

Stephen McKinley Henderson has been bringing in-depth, gripping portrayals of memorable characters to the stage for over four decades. With his return to Broadway this season as Pops in Between Riverside and Crazy, which the Drama Desk previously nominated in 2015, this year’s Harold Prince Lifetime Achievement Award marks Henderson’s role in this powerful production as a celebration of his brilliant career.

Ensemble Award

The cast of Soho Rep’s Public Obscenities – Tashnuva Anan, Abrar Haque, Golam Sarwar Harun, Gargi Mukherjee, NaFis, Jakeem Dante Powell, and Debashis Roy Chowdhury – embodied the transnational world of Shayok Misha Chowdhury’s bilingual play with memorable authenticity, remarkable specificity, and extraordinary warmth.

Sam Norkin Off-Broadway Award

From his standout performance in american (tele)visions, to writing and performing the autobiographical Dark Disabled Stories, Ryan J. Haddad’s work this season has expanded on and interrogated what the idea of “accessibility” really means. Whether riding a shopping cart like a throne, or relating his experiences on a “gay, pink bus,” Haddad shared with audiences an unabashed queer fabulosity that was both unforgettable and deeply human.

But Comer does her show all by herself with no co-stars. That is much more of a high wire act.

True, but solo performances have missed a lot, especially in recent years, with Tovah Feldshuh, Vanessa Redgrave, Laurence Fishburne, Holland Taylor, Laura Linney, and Ruben Santiago-Hudson all losing for their solo performances and Bette Midler not even nominated, although Deirdre O’Connell did win just last year.

There are so many possibilities for the Molly Shannon episode, including bringing back Ana Gasteyer (who’s already on an NBC sitcom) for a Delicious Dish reunion (any or all of the Jonas Brothers could play along) and Vanessa Bayer to try to goose the slim hope of another season of I Love That For You.

Well, that was actually a decently paced show and thankfully Kimmel kept his antics to a minimum. In terms of winners, I am disappointed at no Bassett win and hoping she doesn’t have to wait another 29 years for another chance. The AQOTWF wins for score and especially production design really surprised me, but I still managed to get 15 out of 23, so I’m feeling alright overall. And the stripped down version of Hold My Hand really worked well, so I’m glad that ultimately worked out!
