Tony inconsistency - 12:00AM on 5/09/2008

Why is it James Earl Jones is eligible for "Best Actor" when Charles Durning and Ned Beatty -- who played the same role -- were nominated in the "Featured" category? The Tony Awards dont have the greatest record of consistency in this regard. Bethel Leslie was nominated as "Best Featured Actress" for the same role --Mary Tyrone -- that won Vanessa Redgrave a "Best Actress" Tony.
