STARS Cate Blanchett, Sally Field and Bette Midler received acting nominations for Broadway’s Tony Awards yesterday, while “Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812” led the pack with 12 nods, including the top prize, best musical.

Close behind was the hit revival of “Hello, Dolly!” which took 10 nominations, including one for lead actor David Hyde Pierce. He will take on Josh Groban making his Broadway debut in “Natasha, Pierre.”

“Groundhog Day The Musical,” “Come From Away” and the hit “Dear Evan Hansen,” with nine nominations, were the other best musical nominees.

Best play nominees included “Oslo,” “Sweat,” “Indecent,” and “A Doll’s House, Part 2,” which won nominations for Laurie Metcalf and Chris Cooper.

The best play revival nominees were “Present Laughter,” “August Wilson’s Jitney,” “Six Degrees of Separation” and “Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes,” which won Laura Linney and Cynthia Nixon nods.

Joining Midler, whose turn in “Hello, Dolly!” has been setting box office records, as best actress in a musical, are Patti LuPone and Christine Ebersole in “War Paint,” Denise Benton for “Natasha, Pierre” and Eva Noblezada in “Miss Saigon.”

Blanchett, with her Broadway debut in “The Present,” is joined by Jennifer Ehle (“Oslo”) as well as Field (“The Glass Menagerie”), Linney and Metcalf.
