MELBOURNE - Hollywood actors Scarlett Johansson, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Denzel Washington have walked away with top honours at this year’s Tony Awards.
Johansson won the award for best featured performance as an actress for Arthur Miller’s “A View From a Bridge”.
“Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be on Broadway and here I am,” news.com.au quoted Johansson as saying while accepting her award.
Zeta-Jones won for best actress in a musical for her role as the amorous actress in the revival of “A Little Night Music”.
Washington and his “Fences” co-star Viola Davis won for best actors in a play, while their production, a revival of August Wilson’s deeply personal drama about family, won for best revival of a play.
“My mother always says: ‘Man gives the award, God gives the reward’. I guess I got both tonight,” Washington said after winning for his performance as the sanitation man who might have been a baseball star.
