Best Actress in a Play
1. Nina Arianda, Born Yesterday
4. Kathleen Turner, High
5. Vanessa Redgrave, Driving Miss Daisy
Other Contenders (in order of chance to gain a nod): Lily Rabe (The Merchant of Venice), Cherry Jones (Mrs.Warren's Profession), Hannah Yelland (Brief Encounter)
Commentary: This category is actually pretty set. The only surprise I could foresee would be Lily Rabe sneaking into the spot I have set aside for Vanessa Redgrave. This a crazy prediction to be making this early, but I am predicting right now that Nina Arianda will win Best Actress in a Play this year. Frances McDormand will make it competitive, but I think ultimately Nina Arianda will prevail.
