Lucy Liu and Jonathan Groff announced the nominations for the 68th annual Tony Awards Tuesday morning.
A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder led the pack with ten nominations, followed by Hedwig and the Angry Inch’s eight — including a best actor nomination for regular Tony host Neil Patrick Harris. Other big name nominees include Bryan Cranston for All The Way, Chris O’Dowd (but no James Franco) for Of Mice and Men and musical regulars like Idina Menzel and Audra McDonald. Sure to make some waves is Woody Allen, who was nominated for best book of a musical for Bullets Over Broadway.
