Destined for multiple nominations, which will be announced Tuesday, are such box-office winners as "Billy Elliot," the revivals of "Hair and "West Side Story," and "God of Carnage." Broadway usually doesn't turn its back on success.

Among the actors likely to get serious consideration are names such as Jane Fonda, Daniel Radcliffe, Angela Lansbury, James Gandolfini, Kristin Scott Thomas, Geoffrey Rush, Marcia Gay Harden, Nathan Lane, Janet McTeer, Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, Bill Irwin and John Goodman.
