For the 20 years of predicting hundreds of awards shows, Gold Derby has not made a mistake in calculating scores for an event. However, for Tuesday’s Tony Awards nominations, Jordan Donica (“Camelot”) accidentally did not have his name checked as a nominee for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. That caused our score report to be inaccurate by one slot, so please accept our apologies for the mistake.
The top User remains the same with Josh_Moore having the best score of 78.57% (66 of 82 slots correct) when predicting the 2023 nominations. Our top scorer is actually tied with seven other people — Brian Lipton, Carter_Eldridge, Peggy Sawyer42, JMo96, Jake North, Oscar7212 and Boots127 — but has the better point score of 25,270 by using the two Super Bets (500 points each) wisely.

Congratulations to Peter Travers (Rolling Stone) and Gordon Cox (Variety) for topping all Experts with an outstanding score of 88.46% when predicting the 2019 Tony Awards winners on Sunday.

Both men got Best Musical (“Hadestown”), Best Musical Revival (“Oklahoma!”), Best Play (“The Ferryman”) and all acting categories.

Tony Awards predictions experts Michael Musto (NewNowNext), Brian Lipton (Cititour) and I agree that “Hadestown” will win Best Musical, but we disagree on what rival is its biggest threat. “Tootsie”? “The Prom”? “Ain’t Too Proud”? Watch us track the top races in our video slugfest above – or listen to the audio podcast version below.
“‘Tootsie’ would be the strongest competitor,” Michael insists. “I loved ‘Tootsie.’ It’s hilarious. It’s very well adapted from the movie. However, if you’ve noticed, voters haven’t gone with a feel-good show in the past few years. The last four or five winners were things that started off Broadway or somewhere else and evolved into a Broadway production. Things with a lot of pedigree and pretension — from ‘Hamilton’ to ‘Fun Home,’ ‘Dear Evan Hanson’ and ‘The Band’s Visit.'” Read Michael’s sassy, in-depth analysis of the Tony nominations that he wrote for Gold Derby.

Out of all the nominees spread across the 26 categories at the 2018 Tony Awards, 20 of them stand out as particularly noteworthy. Check out the complete list of nominations here.
The following Broadway productions from this past season were completely shut out by the nominating committee: “Head Over Heels,” “Straight White Men,” “Pretty Woman,” “The Nap,” “The Lifespan of a Fact,” “American Son,” and “True West.”
This year marks the second time this decade that the category of Best Musical consisted of five nominees, the first being in 2016. It’s also the third time for both Best Play (which had five nominees in 2014 and 2018) and Best Play Revival (which had five nominees in 2016 and 2018). And this year marks the fourth instance when the category of Best Musical Revival had only two nominees; the previous times were in 1995, 2002, and 2011.

Broadway fans bemoaned the lack of leading men in musicals this year with only five eligible for consideration at the Tony Awards. While Paul Alexander Nolan (“Escape to Margaritaville”) was snubbed by the nominating committee, any of the four who reaped bids could win. Below, we break down the most competitive race in advance of Sunday’s ceremony
The frontrunner is Joshua Henry (“Carousel”). He leads with 7/4 odds to take home his first Tony Award. Henry has the backing of five experts as of this writing: Susan Haskins (Theater Talk), Gordon Cox (Variety), David Gordon (Theatermania), Jack Smart (Backstage), and Tom O’Neil (Gold Derby). After his Tony nominated turns in “The Scottsboro Boys” and “Violet,” voters may feel it’s finally time to reward the Broadway star who delivers a flawless interpretation of the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein number ‘Soliloquy.’ Henry is the first actor to land a Tony nomination for the part.
