Remember that whole Broadway thing from Wednesday? According to the Los Angeles Times, Rock of Ages (the hair metal musical) has received five Tony nominations. Seeing as how the Tonys are the Academy Awards of the stage world, that’s pretty good.
They’re mostly all technical awards (direction, costume design, and sound design). They aren’t going to hand Jon a Tony for a 20 year old song never written for the Broadway stage and not intended for its ironic use in the musical.

Yeah, all technical. How about Best Musical, and Best Actor in a musical? Two of the top 4 honors. Those are hardly technical.
