George Clooney and Jonathan Groff are among the 2025 Tony Award nominees.

On Thursday, Sarah Paulson and Wendell Pierce announced the nominees for this year’s Tony Awards, which will take place in New York on 8 June.

Clooney received his first Tony nomination for his first-ever Broadway appearance in the stage adaptation of his 2005 film Good Night, and Good Luck.

Meanwhile, Broadway regulars and former Glee stars Groff and Darren Criss were nominated in the same musical category for their roles in Just in Time and Maybe Happy Ending, respectively.

The Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play category is particularly star-studded this year, with nominees including Mia Farrow (The Roommate), Stranger Things star Sadie Sink (John Proctor Is the Villain) and Succession star Sarah Snook (The Picture of Dorian Gray), among others. The latter has already won an Olivier Award for the West End run of the play.

Fellow Olivier Award winner Nicole Scherzinger is also up for a Tony Award for the Broadway transfer for the Sunset Blvd. musical.

There were a number of surprising snubs this year, with Othello stars Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, Redwood’s Idina Menzel and Once Upon a Mattress star Sutton Foster all left out.

Oscar winner Kieran Culkin also didn’t get a nomination for his role in Glengarry Glen Ross, however, his co-star Bob Odenkirk did.

Three productions – Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her and Maybe Happy Ending – all scored 10 nominations each.

The top three were followed by Dead Outlaw, John Proctor Is the Villain, Sunset Blvd and The Hills of California with seven nods each.

The 78th Tony Awards will be hosted by Tony winner and Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo.
