I only saw Love and her performance was not Tony worthy.Sills on the other hand deserved one. Do not get to bummed out when Living posts a closing notice any day now along with Dr Z.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

These are two of the bigger ones for me! I thought Doyle's work on The Visit was terrific, and I wish the category had found room for one additional smaller-scale piece. The set for The Visit is magnificent, too, but perhaps there was a "more is more" philosophy, because there really is only the one major set piece. Oh well, I'm still happy that they earned 5 nominations, including four really big ones!
By saying someone was snubbed, you're saying someone else was nominated who you believe was undeserving of that recognition. So when you say so-and-so was "snubbed", you should also say who was nominated that you find unworthy of it.
But they did find room to nominate David Zinn for his FUN HOME set design, which had much smaller impact on me than Scott's for THE VISIT. I thought much of what impact THE VISIT had for me was really due to that wonderful design.
Is anyone really surprised that The Audience wasn't nominated for Best Play? I know the buzz around Mirren's performance is great, but from the reaction I've seen the play itself isn't anything to get excited about.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
"By saying someone was snubbed, you're saying someone else was nominated who you believe was undeserving of that recognition. So when you say so-and-so was "snubbed", you should also say who was nominated that you find unworthy of it."
Elisabeth Moss should go all "Julie Andrews" on the Tony people.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
Yes, explanations should be provided, or else the word "snub" has no meeting in this context.
Also, as it happens, I also don't agree with your assessment of his performance. I thought he was very broad and lacked the subtlety the role should afford. He wasn't as good as the material. So, I don't think he was snubbed, let alone think his "snubbing" need no explanation.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
