The Tonys only received one nomination, for lighting design.

The Tony-est category is probably Guest Actress in a Drama, where four of the six nominees are Tony winners: Cherry Jones, Diana Rigg, Cicely Tyson, and Viola Davis. One of the others, Samira Wiley, was in Daphne's Dive at the Signature in 2016. The other, Kelly Jenrette, has never appeared on a NY stage but was nominated for an Ovation Award in LA for Nettie in The Color Purple.

It's been reported online that CBS didn't even submit the Tonys for Best Variety Special.

Interestingly, seven of the eight living people who need the Emmy to complete the EGOT are Broadway composers: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, Elton John, Stephen Sondheim, and Alan Menken. (Menken has a non-competitive special Emmy). The other person is John Legend.

If CBS didn't submit the Tonys, I guess the show's nominated lighting team submitted themselves. (And probably'll lose to ''Jesus Christ Superstar.'')

For playing Katie Bonner in ''The Accidental Wolf.'' The category is: Outstanding Actress in a Short-Form Comedy or Drama Series.

Arian Moayed and Kelli did ''King Lear'' at the Public, and Arian was such a fan of hers that he wrote a role for her. And now she's an Emmy nominee!
