John Lithgow wins Tony for Giant

John Lithgow is only getting better with age. With his latest Tony Awards win for actor in a play for “Giant,” Lithgow, 80, became the oldest man ever to win a competitive acting Tony. Lithgow, 80, became the oldest man ever to win a competitive Tony for acting. #tonyawards

“Schmigadoon!,” an adaptation of an Apple TV series that gently mocks big, brassy Broadway shows, won the best new musical Tony Award on a night when actor John Lithgow and playwright Bess Wohl made history.

John Lithgow won his first Tony Award 53 years ago, the same time the Knicks won last championship. Fast-forward to now, Lithgow won his third Tony, the same time the Knicks are two wins away from a title. Funny how life works. #TonyAwards #JohnLithgow #Knicks #AlwaysKnicks

Congratulations to Tony Award Winner John Lithgow for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play! #TonyAwards

You know for sure that the Tony Awards are owned by billionaires because they made sure John Lithgow (objectively past it) won the award for which he was competing with Daniel Radcliffe, AND Nathan Lane and Mark Strong

The Tony Awards, hosted by Pink, feature wins by John Lithgow and ‘Liberation’ play

I’d be more happy about John Lithgow winning his third Tony if he wasn’t playing Dumbledore in the HBO Harry Potter series…😒

lrp: sucks that john lithgow got a tony on the same night, but at least something good to balance

Going to Daniel Radcliffe as John Lithgow mentioned his first Tony was 53 years ago. You hear that, Daniel? You've still got time. #TonyAwards

so we got twenty minutes of John Lithgow and you couldn't let Lynn Ahrens say more than two words? hell #tonyawards

Almost exactly a year ago @decatur30030.bsky.social took us to see John Lithgow as Roald Dahl in #Giant on the West End. I knew nothing about Dahl except that he wrote some of my favorite stories. No spoilers, but, Lithgow deserves that #Tony for teaching me about separating the art from the artist.

This year’s Tony awards have already seen wins for John Lithgow, Laurie Metcalf and Lesley Manville

Every single person who voted for John Lithgow to win another Tony Award should have to find a trans or non-binary person at the afterparty and explain why they think their lives are unimportant.

How I love the Tony Awards. On a hunch scored tix to see John Lithgow in Giant the day before it closes. Voila he won lead actor after that.

I am surprised there is not any chatter about it on my feed. P!nk and Megan Thee Stallion! Tony Awards should be trending. Now John Lithgow to start... this is great!
