Tony snubs that bother you? (Actress)

[bigbelterbaby]

Rachel York played the role that Leslie Ann Warren got a Oscar nomination for in the movie.

plus Rachel won the Drama Desk for Best Featured Actress - Musical that year and then wasn't even nominated. Ouch!

[Gothampc]

bbb, yes Stritch has had a great career, but she was snubbed as Parthy in Show Boat.

What makes it doubly insulting was that that was the year that they only had two nominees in Best Actress category. If she was put in that category she still would have been beat out by Glenn Close in Sunset Boulevard.

In Featured Actress, they nominated three of the women from Smokey Joe's Cafe. Gretha Boston took it for Show Boat (and was deserving) but Stritch should have at least been in one of those categories.

Kristin Chenoweth -The Apple Tree
Laura Benanti - Nine
Sherie Rene Scott - Aida
Amy Spanger - Kiss Me, Kate
Megan Mullally - H2$
Bebe Neuwirth - Damn Yankees

Good or bad, these performances still stand out in my mind. So maybe not wins but at least noms?

[bigbelterbaby]

I thought Megan Mullally was deserving for her role of 'Elizabeth' in Young Frankenstein. She has a great voice.

[Wishing Only Wounds]

This year: Uzo Aduba in Godspell.

She is giving such a stellar performance that will surely be overlooked.

[broadway guy]

Stephanie J block should have been nominated for GRace O Malley in Pirate Queen.Also Hadley,but he is a boy

[followspot]

Rachel York wasn't snubbed, she was egregiously overlooked.

[Mister Matt]

The fact that Andrews was the only nomination for Victor/Victoria drove me batty. Probably the last nomination I would have given that show. I found her beyond bland and the rest of the cast made the show far more entertaining and interesting. Then I had my first opportunity to see Liza perform while Andrews was on vacation and suddenly you saw the show's true potential. The only wrong move they made in the changes was cutting Louis Says. It was a shame Andrews had to return and then Racquel Welch just sealed the show's fate. That was some real boneheaded casting.

[Matt2]

What's going on with Bernadette in that pic? It looks like she's giving Angela the stink-eye.

[emida]

The only one that really bothers me is Kristin Chenoweth for The Apple Tree. I thought she was fantastic in that.

I just hope that Bernadette Peters isn't going to be snubbed this year.

[GlindatheGood22]

Tonya Pinkins should have won for Caroline, or Change.

Barbara Walsh should have been nominated over Karen Ziemba in '07 for Company.

*Edit

Just realized this said Best Actress. Well in terms of someone who should've just won over someone else, I found Nikki M. James good in THE BOOK OF MORMON, but Laura Benanti ran circles around her in WOMEN ON THE VERGE.

Linda Eder - Jeykll & Hyde

[Mister Matt]

I found Nikki M. James good in THE BOOK OF MORMON, but Laura Benanti ran circles around her in WOMEN ON THE VERGE.

I thought Benanti had in the bag until I saw James perform. Then I knew it could go either way (and was rooting for both of them), though Benanti definitely delivered one of the most memorable numbers I've ever seen with Model Behavior.

[BroadwayFan12]

In addition to the ones already mentioned, Erin Davie in Grey Gardens.

[dreaming]

BroadwayFan-Absolutely agree with you on that. She was amazing in that role.

I also loved her in A Little Night Music. She really nailed the role beautifully.

[henrikegerman]

Victoria Clark in TITANIC
Kim Crosby and Danielle Ferland in INTO THE WOODS
D'Jamin Bartlett in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC

[bigbelterbaby]

I was surprised Erin Davie wasn't nominated for A Little Night Music just on the basis that someone else won a Tony for that role.
(always strange when someone can Win a Tony, then someone else plays the role, and doesn't even get nominated)

also strange when they change up category placement, like with Viola Davis winning in lead for Fences for the same role Mary Alice won for in Featured.

I love Rachel York in V/V but she basically just did a cabon copy of Lesley Ann Warren-a complete copy ..which was great but not Tony material as far as I can see to me it was like seeing the 2nd best thing.
I agree that Daniel Jenkins was great in Big-the show was not a bad show-I think it was timing -with Rent and Bring in da noice
it wasnt the time for an old fashion shoe

[CurtainPullDowner]

Def Vicky Clark in TITANIC (and Darcey-James also, but he's a boy).

I heard there was some bad feelings because the producers of TITANIC didn't petition any of the actors.

[voteforsaraberry]

This year: Uzo Aduba in Godspell.

She is giving such a stellar performance that will surely be overlooked.

----

YES.

Also, I feel Celia Keenan Bolger was snubbed for Putnam County, and Laura Benanti for Woman on the Verge.

[madbrian]

"Also, I feel Celia Keenan Bolger was snubbed for Putnam County..."

She was nominated, and lost to Sara Ramirez in Spamalot. Also nominated that year were Kelli O'Hara in Piazza, Joanna Gleason in Scoundrels, and Jan Maxwell for Chitty. I loved Spelling Bee and thought she was terrific, but I'd hardly call her snubbed that year.

[henrikegerman]

^Laura Benanti was nominated for Women on the Verge.

[theeatah]

John McMartin in Follies.

[DottieD'Luscia]

Marin Mazzie for both Ragtime and Kiss Me Kate, and Marla Schaffel for Jane Eyre.

[Mister Matt]

I loved Celia in Spelling Bee, but when I saw Sara in Spamalot during the Chicago tryout, I just said, "Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony". Not only was she fall-on-the-floor hilarious, but she blew the roof off the place. Kelli and Jan were also amazing in their respective roles, but I felt like Joanna was nominated just for returning to a new Broadway musical. She did her best with a bland role in a mediocre show, but it wasn't a standout performance.

Oddly, I much preferred Celia in Piazza than Kelli.
