Jennifer Hudson Tweets And Deletes Her Reaction To Tony Snub
The full list of Tony Awards nominations was announced this morning (May 3), and while Hamilton received a whopping 16 nominations (the most in history), there seemed to be one person that wasn’t tapped at all – singer and actress Jennifer Hudson.
And she made her discontent known, if only for a little bit. The “Spotlight” songstress – who made her Broadway debut as nightclub singer Shug Avery in the revival of The Color Purple – tweeted (and then deleted) her reaction to the snub, which the good people of the Internet managed to salvage:
Hudson wasn’t the only A-lister not to get a nod. Six-time Tony-winner Audra McDonald was also ignored for her performance in Shuffle Along, while Duncan Sheik’s American Psycho only received nominations for its set and lighting designer.
The 70th annual Tony Awards ceremony is scheduled to be broadcast live from New York City’s Beacon Theatre on Sunday, June 12, at 8 p.m. on CBS.
