| In 1964, 110 in the Shade got a best score nomination, while She Loves Me did not, while the latter was nominated for best musical, and the former was not. The following year, Golden Boy was nominated for best musical, but not best score. One of the four best musical nominees was Oh What a Lovely War, which was not eligible for best score. Nominations for best score went to Fiddler and Half a Sixpence, both nominated for best musical, and Do I Hear a Waltz? and Roar of the Greasepaint, neither of which was nominated for best musical. And, of course, in 1963, Sondheim was not nominated for this Forum score, even though the show won best musical. The score for Bravo Giovanni was nominated over Forum. And in 1984, The Tap Dance Kid was nominated for best musical but not for best score, while The Rink was nominated for score but not musical. I'm pretty sure there are others. |

| No doubt there are others, where a Best Musical wasn't nominated for Best Score, or vice versa, but that wasn't my point. In 1979, it seemed unusual that 3 of the 4 nominees for Score came from shows that weren't up for Best Musical. It happened in 1981, too: ''Woman of the Year,'' ''Charlie & Algernon,'' ''Copperfield'' and ''Shakespeare's Cabaret.'' |

| I think "Tap Dance Kid" could have been one of the great shows if it had a better score. It had a really good, affecting book, performances and choreography. "The Rink" has a really good score (with maybe one clinker in there), so I think the nominators got it right that year. | |
