6th predictions

Based on some recent openings, including The Addams Family, Million Dollar Quartet, and La Cage Aux Folles, I have updated my nomination predictions in a number of categories and have rearranged some people into different categories based on the rulings of the nomination committee.  I have also included some people who may, as good as my guesses may be, still surprise us with nominations come May 4th ... a date coming upon us faster than we think.  2 weeks away!  I will likely post one last set of predictions on or about May 1st after all the shows have opened, but in the mean while, this is the current state of my predictions.  Remember ... these are who I think will GET the nominated, not necessarily who I think DESERVES to be nominated.
