71st Annual Tony Awards Predictions: Part 4

Wow so Tony Awards this year were complete and utter BS. I honestly can't put into a post just how filled with rage I am over the robs for Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 as well as Come From Away two inventive musicals with ridiculously creative scores and books that lost to a mediocre score written by mediocre and over hyped composers. Nominees that are underlined are the people who actually won while the nominees with an * next to them are the ones I predicted would win.
