| ''Wait, are you saying that in the entire broadway season there are only 9 lead actors in a play? Only 9 plays, new or revival, in the entire season, had a male role that qualifies as a lead?'' These are the 9 contenders that the Tonys ruled eligible for Leading Actor in a Play: * Leslie Odom, ''Purlie Victorious'' * Michael Stuhlbarg, ''Patriots'' * Jeremy Strong, ''An Enemy of the People'' * Liev Schreiber, ''Doubt'' * Steve Carrell, ''Uncle Vanya'' * William Jackson Harper, ''Uncle Vanya'' * Danny DeVito, ''I Need That'' * Paul Sparks, ''Grey House'' * Eric McCormack, ''The Cottage'' If the Tonys had not bumped up Harper to Leading, there would be only 8 contenders, which means there would've been only 4 slots. With Harper, it's 5. And here's who the Tonys ruled eligible for Leading Actress in a Play: * Sarah Paulson, ''Appropriate'' * Jessica Lange, ''Mother Play'' * Rachel McAdams, ''Mary Jane'' * Amy Ryan, ''Doubt'' * Betsy Aidem, ''Prayer for the French Republic'' * Laurie Metcalf, ''Grey House'' * Tatiana Maslany, ''Grey House'' * Laura Bell Bundy, ''The Cottage'' If the Tonys had bumped up Anika Noni Ross (''Uncle Vanya''), this category would've had 5 Best Actress slots. But they didn't, so there are only 4. |
