Awards season is officially underway! Nominations for the 72nd Annual Outer Critics Circle Awards were revealed April 26, with New York, New York and Some Like It Hot becoming the most-nominated musicals of the season with 12 and 10 nods, respectively, and Downstate and Leopoldstadt becoming the most-recognized play with six nominations each.

This year's awards will be the first for the Outer Critics to use newly reconstructed acting categories. The newly gender neutral categories have been split into Broadway and Off-Broadway, where previous years considered both Broadway and Off-Broadway within the same, traditionally gendered categories.

Winners will be named May 16, with an awards ceremony following May 25 at Bruno Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center's New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.

A Special Achievement Award will be bestowed on fight director B.H. Barry, honoring a six-decade career, including this season's Camelot at Lincoln Center Theater.

Only new elements of Cost of Living, Kimberly Akimbo, Ain't No Mo', Between Riverside and Crazy, and Kinky Boots, all of which played earlier major runs in New York, were considered for this year's nominations.
