Today’s nominations from the Outer Critics Circle cover Broadway and Off Broadway. Hence, a few snubs — like all of “Finding Neverland” and “Dr. Zhivago,” no Bill Nighy or Carey Mulligan from “Skylight.” The OCC did include “The Last Ship,” which I think will also be remembered by the Tonys. Not here is “Fun Home,” which opened last night on Broadway to raves. The OCC noted it last year as an off Broadway production. This morning, Tony winner Katie Finnernan and Broadway and TV star Raul Esparza announced the nominees at the Friars Club on East 55th St. (A mysterious construction job on that block has now gone on for years, disrupting everything around it. Are the Sopranos involved? Sure seems like it.)
