75th Annual Tony Award Predictions: Part 4

Tony Awards: Act 1 was freaking fantastic. It had great pacing, great presenters and got things done. However, the actual broadcast lagged on and on. I was very surprised at the MJ wins and was upset that Sharon D. Clarke didn't win. I am so happy Six won Best Score because I honestly thought they'd give it to A Strange Loop by default because it won the Pulitzer.

ABC= Nominee that I predicted would win
ABC= Nominee that won

If a category has only a name in pink that means that the nominee I predicted would win did win.
