| Slightly premature, but as the season is coming to a close I'm realizing the leading actress race may be the tightest its been in several seasons. To me, it's feeling like a three-way race between Victoria Clark, Micaela Diamond, and Annaleigh Ashford. My vote would go to Micaela, but there are strong arguments for any of the three winning. I also feel like Sara Bareilles' refreshing and revelatory performance will be a lock for a nomination, leaving one slot for Phillipa Soo, Anna Uzele, Lorna Courtney, or one of the many talented women in this crowded season. (Or maybe we end up with a six person category like in 2018.) But the trio I mentioned feel very neck and neck for the award. It'll be exciting to watch! |
