73rd Annual Tony Awards Predictions: Part 4

I wasn't able to watch the Tony Awards live this year because I didn't have access to a TV, but oh well. I still think that King Kong should have won for Best Sound and Amber Gray deserved Best Featured Actress win. However, for this first time I have gotten all 8 acting categories correctly and I believe this is the best prediction's I've done. I only have 9 wrong out of a total of 26. I know not my best response, but I have a lot going on right now so... deal with it.

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.
