So, I was trying not to get invested in this year's Tony Awards race for best actress in a musical, knowing that all the nominees were hugely deserving. But when Nicole Scherzinger's name was called out,

"People just want to pit us Broadway gals against each other, and I think it’s sad," the "Oh, Mary!" actor said.

Nicole Scherzinger won the Tony Award for best actress in a musical for her performance in a revival of “Sunset Boulevard,” a high-tech, minimal-scenery staging from Jamie Lloyd about a washed-up silent film star, Norma Desmond, who haunts a grand, ghostly Los Angeles mansion. This is Scherzinger’s first nomination and win.
