1. Uzo Aduba’s Baby Bump Announcement:
Orange Is The New Black star, Uzo Aduba, stole the show with her radiant pregnancy glow. Sporting a stunning orange suit by Christian Siriano, she showcased her baby bump with pride.
The Tony Awards red carpet became the stage for Uzo’s exciting announcement. With her husband, Robert Sweeting, by her side, Uzo’s joy was palpable.
As Uzo once said, “My heart, my love — I’m so happy my life started last year with you. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.” We can’t wait to see this little star’s debut!
2. Samuel L. Jackson’s Epic Eye Roll
Poker face? Not for Samuel L. Jackson! The legendary actor couldn’t hide his disappointment when he lost the Tony for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play. As the announcer called out the winner’s name, Samuel’s eyes rolled ever so slightly, sending the internet into a frenzy.
Memes flooded social media, with fans declaring, “Samuel L. Jackson does not have good non-winner face.” Even in defeat, Samuel’s charisma shone through. Keep rolling those eyes, Sam!
3. Nonbinary Stars Shining Bright:
The Tony Awards made history by honoring nonbinary actors in the spotlight. Alex Newell and J. Harrison Ghee took home Tony Awards, becoming the first nonbinary stars to win in their respective categories. Alex’s emotional acceptance speech for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for “Shucked” brought tears to our eyes.
They thanked their mom and expressed gratitude for the Broadway community, saying, “Thank you, Broadway, for seeing me. I should not be up here as a queer, nonbinary, fat, Black little baby from Massachusetts.”
