Nothing will top Aaron Tveit being the only nominee for Best Leading Actor last year. I was watching the nominations live and lost it when the guy said “Aaron Tveit” followed by a pause and then said “Congratulations to the nominees” lmao
How did present his award live? All the YouTube clips already show him on stage accepting, but I missed them showing his intro. Did they just announce him and congratulate his win?
No they didn’t! The presenters explained the situation and how he had to get 60% “yes” votes from Tony voting people to win. Everyone was laughing but Aaron looked so nervous and then they opened the envelope and announced him as the winner. He said in an interview he had no idea at the time if he was going to win or lose lol poor guy
I loved how savage the nominators were last year by only nominating him.
Translation: sorry to Tina, Jagged Little Pill, and The Lightning Thief but you were not good enough to get nominated in this category despite the lack of competition.
ETA: I also loved that even though Aaron Tveit KNEW he was going to win, he still ended up crying during his acceptance speech.
I didn't see either but I somehow assumed that they all had one lead actor who was eligible. But if TLF was the only other show with someone eligible for that category, that makes it even cringier that the nominators were like NOPE!
