Here Are Your Hedwig-Heavy 2014 Tony Nominees
Tony Award nominations were announced today, which means the best song-and-dance awards show (keep trying, Oscars) is right around the corner.
There were some nominations everyone expected (Hedwig and the Angry Inch was nominated in eight categories), some snubs (sorry, Rocky fans), and some news that we're still processing (Hugh Jackman is hosting again?).
Do you have lots of feelings about this year's nominees? The awards will be bestowed will June 8 on CBS.
