| "Yes, I'm sure that Aaron Tviet's feat of beating absolutely no one will be very legitimate..." As opposed to Glenn Close beating only one other person for her "Sunset Boulevard" Tony? Or ALW beating no one at all for his? Or how both Best Musical *and* Best Revival that year only had two nominees each? What about the years where Best Score had a full roster of nominees, but not all of them came from musicals? What is the threshold for legitimate? |

| If we think of the award as an honor for excellence in the theater, then of course those awards are very legitimate whether there 10 nominees or only 1. It's still an acknowledgement. If we think of the awards as a sporting event, then yes the 1995 Tonys have a BIG asterisk by them because who cares who wins a game if there's only one contestant? | |
