2025 Tony Awards Nominations: See the Full List

The race to the 2025 Tony Awards officially started on Thursday, May 1, as nominations for the 78th annual honors were announced. 

George Clooney, Nicole Scherzinger, Mia Farrow, Sadie Snook, Daniel Day Kim, Sarah Snook, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Jonathan Groff and Megan Hilty were among the actors who heard their names called as the top categories were revealed in the 8:30 a.m. ET hour of CBS Mornings by Tony winners Sarah Paulson and Wendell Pierce.  

Further nominees were named in a special 9 a.m. ET stream on YouTube. 

Recognizing excellence in live Broadway performance, the Tony award is theater’s highest honor. Presented annual by the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, the trophy is the “T” in the prestigious quadfecta of the Entertainment industry’s achievements known as “EGOT,” sitting alongside the Emmy Awards (television), Grammy Awards (music) and Oscars (film). 

The 2025 Tony Awards will take place on Sunday, June 8 at Radio City Musical Hall in New York City.

Broadway veteran Cynthia Erivo will host the ceremony. She’s a Tony, Emmy and Grammy winner, as well as a three-time Oscar nominee — most recently for her role in the film adaptation of Wicked.

Viewers can watch the show on CBS and Paramount+ beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Select awards will also be handed out in a 90-minute pre-show that will stream on Pluto TV starting at 6:30 p.m. ET.
