Too bad one of the Billy Elliot guys will probably win, but kudos regardless!!

So speaking of Billy Elliot...I found it interesting that all 3 Billy's are nominated as one but when it came to Billy's friend Michael, only David Bologna was nominated (Best Featured Actor) and not Frank Dolce (his double).

Has this been done before where multiple actors (especially in the case of child actors) are all nominated? Also, any ideas on why they wouldn't do the same thing for the part of Michael?

Just thought it was interesting.

Hmm, yeah, talk about a slap in the face!

Btw, here are some people's reactions to their noms, including Swenson's:

I'm also really happy that Christopher Sieber was nominated, even though it's unfortunately the same category. If either he or Will wins I will be happy indeed.

Both Billy Elliott actors nominated in this category were amazing too! Tough category for sure...lots of talent.

Not only that, but a former American Idol contestant was nominated to boot!

To paraphrase someone on another site - if simply watching the Tony's didn't make you gay before, NPH hosting them will do it.

There is one thing you never put in a trap, if you're smart - if you value your continued existence - if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow there is one thing you never EVER put in a trap.� Me.

Listen, I don't know what sort of kids you've been flying around with in outer space, but you're not telling me to shut up!

As long as I don't bleed or cry, I'll do it!
