Bradely Cooper earned his first Tony nomination for The Elephant Man, and musicals An American in Paris and Fun Home took home 12 nominations each.

2015 Tony Award Nominations Announced

An American in Paris, based on Vincente Minnelli’s 1951 classic film, was by far the most popular show at the 2015 Tony Award Nomination announcement on Tuesday. The show took home nominations for Best Musical, Best Book and four acting nominations, all first time nominees!

Other big honoree, Fun Home, matched An American in Paris with 12 nominations, including one for young actress Sydney Lucas. Nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical at only 11 years old, Lucas is now the youngest performer ever to be nominated for a Tony. Lucas will face two Fun Home co-stars in the category.

Hollywood has its fair share of representation in the Tony nominations. Oscar-nominated Cooper became a Tony nominee for Best Actor in a Play for his turn in The Elephant Man. Fellow A-lister, Patricia Clarkson, is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play for the same production. Hollywood actresses are also dominating the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play category, with frequent film and television stars Helen Mirren, Elisabeth Moss, Carey Mulligan, Ruth Wilson and Geneva Carr all being recognized.
