“Lucky Guy,” “I’ll Eat You Last” and “Matilda” are among the major shows up for awards from the Drama League.

The country’s oldest theatrical honors unveiled the contenders for Distinguished Play, Distinguished Revival of a Play, Distinguished Musical, Distinguished Revival of a Musical, and Distinguished Performance Award at Sardi’s Restaurant. The nominees are a mixture of off-Broadway hits like Jesse Eisenberg’s play “The Revisionist” and Broadway big-tickets like the recent revival of “Annie.”

There is also a heavy Hollywood presence. Tom Hanks, Bette Midler, Alec Baldwin and Jake Gyllenhaal are just a few of the prominent names who are up for acting honors.

The awards will be hosted by David Hyde Pierce on Friday, May 17, 2013 at noon.

The awards are more democratic than other shows. They are selected by Drama League members nationwide who attend Broadway and Off-Broadway productions.
