Hollywood dominates tony nominations: George Clooney, Sarah Snook and more
Hollywood veteran George Clooney is nominated for Best Actor, marking his first Broadway nomination for his role as Edward R. Murrow in Good Night and Good Luck. The show is adapted from the 2005 movie of the same name, which was directed Clooney himself. Back then, he gave himself a supporting role, while the film ended up landing six Academy Award nominations, with its lead, David Strathairn, also getting a nod for best actor. He will be competing against Cole Escola, Jon Michael Hill, Daniel Dae Kim, Harry Lennix, and Louis McCartney.

The former Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger made her Broadway debut with her highly anticipated Sunset Blvd. Stepping into the shoes of Norma Desmond, a fictional character desperate to make a comeback after her once-bright career faded, earned Scherzinger global critical praise. The show is revived Jamie Lloyd from the classic Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. It also received a 6-minute standing ovation from the crowd after its debut at the St. James Theatre in New York City. “I have worked many, many years to build up to this moment, and it’s changed my life,” Scherzinger said at the time (via PEOPLE). “I’ve never been more happy, I think, because I always had so much inside of me that I felt like people didn’t see or understand. It just feels good now to be able to share that with the world.”
