Tony Nominess. Read all about it.

Chita Rivera got nominated for an acting award for playing herself, and a jukebox bio is up for best musical (Jersey Boys).

Not surprised at the nods for Colour Purple, Drowsy Chaperone, Pajama Game or Sweeney Todd. Not much for Tarzan, Lestat or The Woman in White. I'm perhaps a little surprised at 6 for The Wedding Singer.
