After compiling my personal list of awards in the last blog, here is a compendium of every major theater award and nomination in NYC for 2012-13. Winners are capitalized and nominees are in lower case. Where some awards disagree as to which category a performer belongs in, I placed them in one according to my own judgment. Guide to abbreviations=Astaire=Astaire Award; CD=Clarence Derwent Award; DD=Drama Desk; DL=Drama League; LL=Lucille Lortel Award; OBIE=Obie Award; OCC=Outer Critics Circle; RS=Richard Seff Award; TONY=Tony Award; TW=Theatre World Award. The most nominated performer this season was Jeremy Jordan who was up for Astaire, Drama Desk, Outer Critics, and Tonys and won a Theatre World Award.

The Outer Critics just announced their winners and it looks like Kinky Boots will be kicking Matilda to the curb if these awards are any indication for the Tonys. Boots walked all over Matilda for the Outstanding Broadway Musical Award and Billy Porter also beat down Bertie Carvel for Best Actor. The two cross-dressing performers are also going head to head in the Tony lead sweepstakes. Perhaps the Matilda producers should have put the brilliant Carvel who steals the show as the delightfully horrible headmistress Miss Trunchbull, in the Featured Category where he would have been sure to win over the OCC champ in that category, Terrence Mann who plays Pippin's overbearing father Charlemange. I think Mann will probably win the Tony because he's been around so long without a win (he was nominated for the original Les Miserables, was in the original Cats and Beauty and the Beast, so the Tony voters may reward him for being in long-running shows where he has to wear a lot of make-up).
