NO Kev, the award is for Outstanding.

Your understanding of awards is not accurate.

I hope one day you're eligible or even nominated for such a minor set of awards as the Lortels or the Drama Desk and tell me you think it's minor, and that this is fair. Tell me you're happy to be up against 6 people instead of 4, and have only 4 people win each season instead of 8. When you're one of the 3 that didn't make the cut of 7 that definitely would have had it been the original 10, let's see what you think.

The Tonys have 8 because they do play and musical, not because they just decided to make up extra categories. It's very different to be a performer in a musical vs a play. That is the reason, as you are well aware. Don't act like they already made allowances for more than enough or too many acting awards at the Tonys.

I'm okay with taking away the gender (though it brings its own issues), I am absolutely not okay with taking away half the awards and 1/3 of the nomination slots.
