| Are you talking about The Scottsboro Boys? The Broadway transfer happened in the season after the one where the Vineyard production was eligible. So two different seasons. | |

| I know it was in two seasons. Just saying two actors were nominated for the same role in which was basically the same production. | |

| I went back and read what I wrote and I see your confusion. You're responding to this: In theory, you could have two different actors nominated for the same role in the same production - one Off Bway and one Bway - but I doubt that would ever happen. That was in the paragraph where I was talking about Days of Wine and Roses - so I was talking about how it would be theoretically possible for the same awards body to nominate two different actors for the same role in the same production within the same season. Like if someone else replaced Brian D'Arcy James for the Broadway version, it would theoretically be possible for the Drama Desk to nominate both Brian D'Arcy James and that other actor for playing the same role, and if they did so, both would be nominated in this spring's nominations. Such a thing would likely never happen for many reasons, not the least of which is that it would be super rare for a mid-season transfer to replace an actor who was giving a nomination-worthy performance Off Broadway (Brian D'Arcy James isn't being replaced). But in theory it could happen. There have been several instances - as you noted - where different awards bodies have nominated different actors for the same role in the same production, although that's almost always in two different seasons. And there have even been cases where the SAME awards body nominated two different actors for the same role in the same production - again, in different seasons. The most recent that comes to mind is Larry Owens and then Jaquel Spivey for A Strange Loop - the Drama Desk nominated both, in 2020 and then 2022. |
