The 2015 Tony Nominations are here, thanks to announcers Bruce Willis and Mary-Louise Parker, who woke up before 8:30 a.m. on a Tuesday morning to read off this season’s theater honorees.
The list of plays, musicals, actors, directors, designers and composers in the running for a shiny Tony award this year run the gamut of expected — the critically acclaimed musical “Fun Home” and the Shakespeare favorite “Wolf Hall” both received nods, to the ever so slightly less expected — “This Is Our Youth” nabbed a nomination while its very youthful star Tavi Gevinson was left out.
The musical version of “An American in Paris” and “Fun Home” managed to rack up the most mentions with 12 nominations each.
Hollywood stars showed up in more than a few categories; Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan, Elisabeth Moss, and Ken Watanabe among them. Willis will be heading to the stage in an adaption of Stephen King’s “Misery,” hence his presence today. Parker won a Tony back in 2001 for her performance in the play “Proof.”
The 2015 Tony Awards is set to air on CBS on Sunday, June 7, at 8 p.m. ET. Past winners Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming will replace perennial master of ceremonies Neil Patrick Harris as hosts.
