The announcement, which was presented by Sarah Paulson and Wendell Pierce, nominated English, The Hills of California, John Proctor Is the Villain, Oh, Mary! and Purpose for best play.

Audra McDonald, who already boasts the record for most acting Tony wins, has been nominated for best actress for her work in Gypsy, the 11th nod to her overall. Competing against her in the category is Sunset Blvd star, Nicole Scherzinger.

Writer and actor of Oh, Mary, Cole Escola is contending for best actor against George Clooney for Good Night, and Good Luck, Daniel Dae Kim, for Yellow Face, Louis McCartney for Stranger Things: The First Shadow as well as Jon Michael Hill and Harry Lennix for Purpose.

Notably, Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal's Othello went completely nomination free after the overpriced ticket fiasco and mixed reviews overall.
