Who Got Nominated For A Tony In 2015?

It's that time of year again, just when you thought awards season was over. For those of us who know better, the 2015 Tony Awards are not only a great chance to give some exposure to the amazing plays and musical that have been gracing Broadway in the last year, but also a chance for us to see our favorite actors pick up yet another award on their quest to EGOT glory. For that reason, fans of Bradley Cooper are probably beside themselves with glee right now, considering the American Sniper actor is one of the many big names in the running to pick up a Tony Award at the ceremony, which is slated to take place on June 7th on CBS.

While Cooper was nominated for Best Leading Actor and Best Picture at the 2015 Oscars, he lost out in both categories to Eddie Redmayne and Birdman respectively. Now, he's got another opportunity to add a statuette to his collection of them at the Tony Awards thanks to his work in The Elephant Man and I'm already rooting for him. Call me permanently biased in his favor from watching him in The Hangover, but I just want to see Cooper lift that Tony high. He's not the only person whose name is listed below that I'm rooting for, but he's one of the top on my list.
