2025 Tony Award nominations unveiled, George Clooney recognized

The nominees for the 78th annual Tony Awards, celebrating the best of Broadway's 2024–25 season, have been announced, with George Clooney earning a nomination for his Broadway debut in 'Good Night, and Good Luck.' However, Denzel Washington, who returned to Broadway with 'Othello,' was notably snubbed. The major categories feature a range of star nominees, including Mia Farrow, Sarah Snook, Sadie Sink, and Nicole Scherzinger, with Scherzinger emerging as a front-runner for Best Leading Actress in a Musical. The Best Musical race includes five new productions: 'Buena Vista Social Club,' 'Dead Outlaw,' 'Death Becomes Her,' 'Maybe Happy Ending,' and 'Operation Mincemeat.' The ceremony will be hosted by Cynthia Erivo and take place at Radio City Music Hall on June 8, 2025, broadcast live on CBS. This season is marked by both celebrated newcomers and surprising omissions among Broadway's biggest names.
