I could understand not liking Lin's performance, but wooden? He's really emotive. But yeah I think he'll definitely get a nom, but no chance of the win. I don't get the hate for him either. He's stunning during his final monologue.

I had no idea Tuck Everlasting was eligible. I thought that opened too late for this year's Tony.

Well that was fun! A very clear and uninterrupted stream coming from New York 5 hours behind us! A cool set of nominees this year, biggest I noticed was nothing for JHud, and that Jonathan Groff managed to get in there which I am over the moon about. 3 for Hamilton in the supporting male! Glad that Phillipa managed to get in there, and after all that, I personally really don't think it's a surprise that Hamilton was nominated 16 times - that's the new record now, yes? So no matter what they win, they'll always have the claim! Was also surprised that Disaster! got a look in, good for them!

I knew it! So happy for Hamilton, SOOOO happy for Phillipa (beating out Audra for that nomination!) and so happy for Spring Awakening.

I agree with these nominations a LOT more than I did with the Olivier's choices this year.

Even Best Costume Design - the one I was sure Hamilton would never be nominated for. I'm thrilled for Alex Brightman and do hope he wins. And I just realised that I'm in San Francisco when the actual ceremony takes place. Maybe I'll be watching it live

Thrilled for Cynthia and the 16(!) Hamilton noms! Will be interesting on the night to see which actor/actress awards it walks away with.
Can't believe Tony darling Audra has been left out of the noms and thought Benjamin Walker would be nominated for American Psycho too.

Another BRILLIANT year for Brits on Broadway, too: Sophie Okonedo, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Es Devlin, Tim Pigott-Smith, Rupert Goold, Richard Goulding, Tom Scutt, Mark Strong, Jonathan Kent, Cynthia Erivo, Julian Fellowes, John Doyle and Finn Ross (OK, Scottish). Anyone else?
And James Corden hosting!

So happy King Charles III was recognised, shame Olivier Chris wasn't nominated, but so happy for Tim Pigott-Smith and Richard Goulding. Thrilled Laurie Metcalf was nominated. She was in my top 5 best leading actress's in a plays this year. Really thought Misery was going to be snubbed. Onto Hamilton... I am so happy Phillipa was nominated. I really doubted that the nomination would happen and I was proven wrong. So happy, she gives such an astonishing performance. Also happy for Lin, Leslie, Daveed, Jonathan and Renée. Would've nominated Anthony Ramos over Christopher Jackson, but that doesn't matter so much. Deserving of all it's nominations, except one which kind of baffled me... set design. The set was pretty basic so kind of surprised it was nominated. Also great Alex Brightman was nominated. Such a great set of nominations!

Thrilled for School of Rock, Spring Awakening, Dames at Sea, Alex Brightman, Zachary Levi, Laurie Metcalf, Laura Benanti, Cynthia Erivo, Megan Hilty and Danielle Brooks for all of their nominations!
Shocked at no Audra or Jennifer Hudson and that Jonathan Groff was nominated. Not that he doesn’t deserve it for what he is doing, but that the role is not really a deserving kind of role. That said, congratulations to Hamilton!
Also, gutted Annaleigh Ashford and and Lesli Margherita were not getting a look in for their respective performances.

10 out of 20 of the nominations for acting in a musical go to people of colour, amazing!

That said, congratulations to Hamilton! Sure, Groff has a limited amount of stage time, but he uses his time so well. He owned that role, he was truly phenomenal and I am really sad he's left the show.
