I am thinking back to something from my youth...maybe the Soap Opera Digest awards...lol...where I am pretty sure they had a category for supporting and a category for featured. I don't recall the exact the defintion of each but the point was that one would be for someone who had just a scene or two, and one for someone who was a more consistent presence.
In terms of the Tonys I think of Marilyn Cooper in Woman of the Year or Katie Finneran in Promises, Promises or Adrian Lennox in Doubt. Can you think of other examples? I think one reason the Tonys don't have seperate categories is that it isn't really all that frequently that someone wins a Tony for singing just one song, or having just a scene. |
