With the Oscars on tonight, I figured it would be fun for BroadwaySpace to have our own little version of the Tony's, but online! I'll post the categories here, and you all can post your votes in a comment. Each category will have four nominees plus one "OTHER". If you have something that you think should be nominated, but isn't on the list, put them as your vote for that category, and if at least four other people put the same name for "OTHER", than that name will be added as a nominee for that category. The awards will not just be for this Broadway season, but also for recent past ones and future ones. The votes will be counted up, and the winners will be posted in TEN DAYS (WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17th)!
