they always nominate someone random that no one was predicting like I said in the predictions thread - !

Melissa deserved a nomination, but I love when this sort of thing happens and I'm thrilled for Elizabeth. Clearly the Tony committee was very impressed with her acting, singing, dancing and violin skillz.

I'm sure people will be paying her a lot more attention in 'Once' now

I don't think you could see Once and not take notice of her, Tony nom or not.

it just goes to show that people need to stop making 'lazy' predictions by thinking that stars (Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, Elaine Paige) are more likely nominees than Laura Osnes, Elizabeth A Davis and Jessie Mueller.

To be fair, in other years those stars may very well have been nominated. I enjoyed all their performances, but this was a very competitive year.

LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE.

As much as I loved all of the women in the category, I would love it if she pulled an upset win that represents the wonderful talent of the Once ensemble. I know it won't happen, but I just love that she's made the list. I joked about her being nominated months ago, but I recognized that it was super unlikely. To actually have it come true is so exciting. The best part is that this probably wasn't even on her radar. I doubt she even thought of herself as a contender. Imagine how she must be feeling today.

Yeah...way to celebrate! Going to a vehemently anti-gay company and supporting their beliefs!

Congratulations!

I'm thrilled for her nomination. Great to see her get the recognition she deserves.

ETA - Just read what she said about the Zipcar and Chick-fil-A plans... unfortunate comment.

I'm so happy that she got recognized. I think she, and the rest of the ensemble in this show are fantastic and I was really hoping one of them would make a surprise appearance on the nominee list. She is a quadruple threat in the show. Congrats to her!!

I can see the Playbill.com headline already: DAVIS TONY NOM REVOKED AFTER FALLOUT FROM CHIK-FIL-A VISIT.

We really should have an "Onion"-type news source for Broadway (and people should not be offended by where people buy their chicken).

People shouldn't tell people how to feel about things that are important to them.

Elizabeth was raised in a small town in Texas and is a hardcore Christian (I read) so it's likely she isn't gay friendly anyway :O

Except that thing of how she is working on Broadway, surrounded by gay men adoring her, showering her with career-changing award nominations.

Regardless, I do love me some good chicken from Chik-Fil-A.

Doesn't mean she is anti-gay. You can be totally accepting of a lifestyle and still not be current on the things that affect it.

Maybe she doesn't KNOW Chick-fil-a is anti gay
Maybe it's just something she and her friends SAY
Maybe she overcome her southern upbrining.
Maybe she IS anti-gay, but this certainly doesn't prove it.

I can't hold Chik-fil-A against her. Even Willam Belli thinks Chik-fil-a is delicious and he was a contestant on Drag Race disqualified for screwing his husband at the hotel.

Willem's music video is a parody. Davis may be uninformed, or maybe she's taking a pentecostal dig at the gay community. Either way, criticisms are warrented.

Maybe she does. And maybe she either doesn't know or doesn't care that she's putting money into the pockets of anti-gay organizations.

But she's 100 percent entitled to do it. And people are 100 percent entitled to be bothered by it. (Or, of course, not.)

Did he really get thrown off for that? I never watched the show but I remember hearing about it and speculation it was drugs or that he was leaking information, but it was a conjugal visit wot done 'im in?
