Tony Awards Nominations Snubs And Surprises: ‘Othello’, Denzel Washington, Jake Gyllenhaal And Kieran Culkin Don’t Make The Cut
Deadline's picks for the biggest snubs and surprises in this year's Tony Award nominations.
The category does have some surprising, and deserving, relative newcomers: Julia Knitel from Dead Outlaw and Gracie Lawrence, who does a terrific Connie Francis in the Bobby Darin jukebox musical Just In Time. Other snubs, this time in the Director/Play category: Anna D. Shapiro, who directed the widely praised Eureka Day, and Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin, the co-directors who kept Stranger Things: The First Shadow moving like a Rube Goldberg machine. Two welcome additions, though, were the nominations of Jeb Brown, who serves as the narrator/band leader in Dead Outlaw and Taylor Trensch, the meek newspaper reporter who turns heroic in Floyd Collins.
