Thanks. Poor research on my part. I've edited my predix to have it replace The Country Girl in the revival category, based on its poor reviews opening night.

Thom

Some nice choices...however, Eve Best is being considered in the lead category...and I'm not sure Arthur Laurents is eligible.

One of the surest things in an otherwise very unsure year, is that Amy Morton ("August: Osage County) will be nominated in this category. If I had to pick today, I'd pick her to win, too, her role being much larger than Dunagan's and generally more crowd-pleasing.

R2684, I think that Dunnagan might still be the frontrunner..

Damn...the Tony committee ruled today that:

James Earl Jones is an actor in a leading role; and
Kate Fleetwood is a lead actress for "MacBeth"...throws things off a bit huh?

Because of the Tony Committee rulings, I'm making a few changes to my earlier predictions above:

Best Direction (Musical)
I'm going out on a limb and eliminating "In the Heights" and adding Arthur Laurents for "Gypsy"

Best Actress (Play)
Adding Kate Fleetwood-"MacBeth"; eliminating Frances McDormand-"The Country Girl"

Best Feat Actor (Play)
Eliminating James Earl Jones; adding Francis Guinan-"August: Osage County"

Best Feat Actress (Play)
Because of Kate Fleetwood's move to Lead, I'm adding Marisa Tomei for "Top Girls"

I think the stars of the nominating process will be In the Heights, August: Osage County, and South Pacific. Boeing-Boeing will get the most nominations of any play revival.
