The 2025 Tony Award nominations have sparked controversy, particularly with notable omissions such as Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, who were expected to be recognized for their roles in 'Othello.' Despite the show's commercial success, fetching over $900 for some tickets and earning $2.8 million in its opening week, it received no nominations. Washington commented on the high ticket prices, underscoring his humbleness and commitment to using his celebrity for good. Other expected nominees like Kieran Culkin were also snubbed, leading to discussions about industry recognition and market dynamics.
George Clooney, Nicole Scherzinger, and Sarah Snook received Tony nominations, while notable stars like Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal were surprisingly left off the list.
Washington's performance in 'Othello' was anticipated for a nomination, yet the play was completely overlooked, raising eyebrows over its high ticket prices.
Denzel Washington expressed humility regarding his career and the impact of his work, despite missing nominations for both the Tony and Oscar this year.
Culkin's expected nomination for 'Glengarry Glen Ross' was another surprise as he missed out, while co-star Bob Odenkirk earned his first nomination.
