how was there only one leading actor nom?

a tony is a tony but damn, to win by default lol

Lmao, I was thinking that, imagine being the only nominee and people prefer to non vote than to vote for you

The year I was in eighth grade, at city science fair the awards committee announced to an entire,packed, basketball court of participants, parents and teachers that the senior division group (so a team of 3-6 high school junior and seniors) award for I think it was engineering&mathematics was going to NO ONE because they “did not see any entry that was deserving of an award” it was brutal but also kind of hilarious😶

The only other eligible nominee was in The Lightning Thief which apparently they loathed because it got zero noms.

Yeah I don’t think I’d feel like I’d earned it if I won a trophy by default lol

It's because there was only one other option and it was a dude from a show that's so disliked it was completely shut out this year despite there being only like 4 eligible shows total lmao
