Tim Burton's famous adaptation of Steven Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's 1979 musical Victorian horror classic, based on the story that first appeared in a penny dreadful in actual Victorian times, stars Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, just as Corpse Bride does, only this time it is live action.  It was nominated for 3 Oscars, and won 1 of them.




Another musical revival this year that has garnered 10 Tony nominations is Gershwin and Heyward's 1935 popular opera triumph Porgy and Bess.  In addition to 7 others, the production is nominated for Best Direction, Best Orchestration and Best Revival Musical.  Tony page here.
