Follow along with BroadwayWorld as we update the winners live!
Sinners leads the nominations with a record-breaking 16 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and 3 acting nods. This was closely followed by One Battle After Another, which garnered 13 nominations.
Highlights from the final nominees list include Jessie Buckley, who was nominated for Best Actress for her emotional performance as Agnes Shakespeare in Hamnet. For his performance as Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart in Blue Moon, Ethan Hawke received an acting nod. Robert Kaplow’s screenplay was also recognized.
Other notable nominees include Kate Hudson, who received a nomination for Best Actress for the musical Song Sung Blue, and Emma Stone, for her performance in Bugonia. Rose Byrne, returning to Broadway this year in Fallen Angels, was recognized for her performance in If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You.
Netflix’s animated smash hit musical KPop Demon Hunters was nominated for Best Animated Film and recognized for the breakout song “Golden.”
Wicked: For Good, the second part of the film adaptation, received no nominations this year, a significant departure from Wicked’s 10 nominations last year. Other omissions include Paul Mescal in Hamnet and Amanda Seyfried in The Testament of Ann Lee.
