And here I thought “Mean Girls” opened last season!

The 2019 Tony Award nominations were announced Tuesday morning, and instead of its usual Celebration of Theater mood, we were treated to a series of catty snubs and wrist-slaps.

The shocks were in such abundance that the announcement event’s host Gayle King went rogue and began asking actors Bebe Neuwirth and Brandon Victor Dixon how they felt about “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Network” — two major contenders — being left out of the Best Play category. As Oprah would say, “GAYLE!”

The exclusion of “Mockingbird” from the top spot was the cruelest page ripped from the Tony Committee’s Burn Book. Aaron Sorkin’s drama, which before 8:30 a.m. was the favorite to win, otherwise managed a hefty nine nods including Actor (Jeff Daniels), Featured Actor (Gideon Glick) and Featured Actress (Celia Keenan-Bolger).

The most likely Best Play winner is now the British import “The Ferryman.”

The next cold shoulder was for Glenda Jackson — the British stage legend who won Best Actress in a Play last year — going unrecognized for taking on the title role in “King Lear.” That production’s only nom was Ruth Wilson for Featured Actress. The revival of a play race is now between “The Waverly Gallery” and “Torch Song,” both of which closed months ago, and a different icon, Elaine May, should go home with the trophy for Leading Actress in a Play.

Another winner from last year, Nathan Lane, also didn’t make the cut for his role in Taylor Mac’s new play “Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus,” which got nods for Best Play and Featured Actress (Kristine Nielsen and Julie White).

On the warpath, the committee then decided that the bulk of the fall season never happened: “Head Over Heels,” “Straight White Men,” “Gettin’ The Band Back Together,” “The Nap,” “American Son,” “Lifespan of a Fact” and most glaringly, “Pretty Woman: The Musical,” the only show still running, got zero nominations.

The situation isn’t much better for the struggling $35 million behemoth “King Kong,” which scored nods only for Set, Lights, Sound and a special award for its monkey. Can’t exactly slap those up on the marquee. The teen musical “Be More Chill” got a shout-out for Joe Iconis’ score, but the committee much preferred the season’s other high school-themed show, “The Prom,” which got seven nods including Best Musical.

The Best Revival of a Musical race became a bit clearer — director Daniel Fish’s revisionist “Oklahoma!” got 11 nominations, while the standard “Kiss Me, Kate” only received four. But a victory for the controversial Rodgers and Hammerstein show is not a certainty: The 48-member Tony Committee is not the most indicative sampling of the 800 or so Tony voters nationwide.

One show that’s laughing at its haters today is “Beetlejuice.” The show received a critical drubbing when it opened last week, but is now a Best Musical nominee, as is “Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of the Temptations.” Its brilliant nominated Featured Actor, Jeremy Pope, also snagged a nod in the Best Actor in a Play category for “Choir Boy.” He’ll be up against Daniels, Bryan Cranston (“Network”), Paddy Considine (“The Ferryman”) and Adam Driver (“Burn This”).

Joining “The Prom,” “Beetlejuice” and “Ain’t Too Proud” is the musical “Hadestown,” which didn’t get a single nomination at the British Olivier Awards in April, but led the Tonys pack with 14 nods. It’s in a close battle with the more traditional comedy “Tootsie,” which got 11, including nods for its terrific actors Santino Fontana, Sarah Stiles and Andy Grotelueschen.

The Burn Book reopens when the Tony Awards air June 9 on CBS.
