While this year gave us #OscarsSoWhite, the Tony Awards gave us divine diversity and #BlackExcellence.
2016 noms marked a record 14 nominations for performers of color, including 16 noms for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hopera Hamilton. Most important, in the first time in the award show’s history, all four Tonys for roles in musicals were awarded to actors of African descent.
For the first time in #TonyAwards history, all four musical acting awards have gone to people of color.
