George Clooney and Nicole Scherzinger have been nominated for their first Tonys this year while Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal have been snubbed.
The Oscar-winning actor was included in the leading actor in a play category for Good Night and Good Luck, an adaptation of the 2005 film that he also starred in and directed. “It’s a thrill to have five nominations for this play,” he said in a statement. “For everyone involved, this has been an incredible experience. I couldn’t be more proud or feel more lucky.”
