Who Should Win 2025 Tony Awards? Cosmopolitan Has Favorite Picks
Is it just me, or have award shows become increasingly contentious in recent years? Fans are riding hard for their favorites to win. And no matter the outcome, the online discourse around who ultimately takes it can be vicious. I mean, if the Best Actress showdown between Mikey Madison and Demi Moore at the 97th Oscars isn't proof enough…the Emma Stone vs. Lily Gladstone upset the year prior certainly is. (I was Team Mikey and Team Emma for the record, so any distress over those results isn't something I particularly relate to.) There was also uproar over Emilia Perez winning for Best Musical or Comedy Motion Picture at the 82nd Golden Globes—a controversial choice that had many critics questioning the legitimacy of the award show. (Me included.) And now we've got a pending showdown between Nicole Scherzinger and Audra McDonald at the 78th Annual Tony Awards that has fans, critics, and the voting block completely at odds with one another. (I'm Team Nicole, but we'll get into that later.) As senior entertainment director of Cosmopolitan, I'm invited to watch all the Broadway shows for editorial consideration each season and am often tapped to lend my feedback to a production's publicity team. Sometimes I'll book one of the stars for a feature—like this interview with Jinkx Monsoon, this Met Gala moment with Maleah Joi Moon, or this first-look exclusive with Milo Manheim and Liz Gillies—but this season, I've decided to campaign on behalf of the actors I believe have earned a rightful bid at future EGOT status. I have seen everything this season–with the exception of Othello (love you, Denzel! Love you, Jake!), which didn't receive any nominations for me to weigh in on anyway—all of which to say, my opinions aren't half-baked or based on hearsay. (Umm, can everyone on Reddit calm down!?) I've seen these actors with my own two eyes, and I've listened to their live vocals with my own two ears, I promise. So if you care to know what an actual expert in the field thinks about who should (but not necessarily will) take home the trophy in each performance category, you've come to the right place. Let's get into it. In this dark comedy about Mary Todd Lincoln's life in the days leading up to her husband's assassination, Cole Escola has been delighting audiences in the titular role for over 400 performances (and counting!) since the show opened downtown in January 2024. They also wrote the deliciously unhinged script (which I think should win Best Play too, although John Proctor Is the Villain starring Sadie Sink might give Oh, Mary! a run for its money). I already said this in my list of must-see Broadway shows last year, but Cole's performance is a masterclass in comedy. I don't know a single person who has left this show unimpressed. Is George Clooney breaking box office records at The Winter Garden Theatre for Good Night, and Good Luck? Sure. Let that hold the record for the highest-grossing play in Broadway history, but it's not deserving of a trophy; George's performance is flat and relies too heavily on star power, whereas what Cole is pulling off each night is groundbreaking new work. This isn't to say the money isn't pouring in for them, either. Oh, Mary! is breaking box office records of its own at the Lyceum Theatre. But my argument isn't about commercial viability—it's about craft. And ultimately, Cole's portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln is one for the history books. The nominees in this category are George Clooney for Good Night, and Good Luck, Cole Escola for Oh, Mary!, Jon Michael Hill for Purpose, Daniel Dae Kim for Yellow Face, Harry Lennix for Purpose, and Louis McCartney for Stranger Things: The First Shadow. BUY OH, MARY! TICKETS HERE I had initially hoped to see Mia Farrow win for The Roommate, but then Sarah Snook came in like a wrecking ball. (The good kind! The Miley Cyrus kind.) What Sarah is achieving each night on the Music Box Theatre stage is a feat of titanic proportions. She seamlessly plays all 26 roles from the classic story by Oscar Wilde in a mind-blowing production that utilizes an expertly-executed mashup of live performance and pre-recorded video as directed by the visionary Kip Williams. Sarah's ability to turn on a dime and oscillate between wildly different characters is brilliant. She is volleying between distinct voices while navigating immaculately-timed costume changes and consistently hitting her marks to act against pre-recorded visions of herself, all of which require precise delivery once the crew presses play. She's already put the E in EGOT with her Emmy win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Shiv Roy in HBO's smash hit Succession. I hope with this performance, she secures herself that T. The nominees in this category are Laura Donnelly for The Hills of California, Mia Farrow for The Roommate, LaTanya Richardson Jackson for Purpose, Sadie Sink for John Proctor Is the Villain, and Sarah Snook for The Picture of Dorian Gray. BUY THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY TICKETS HERE It's rare for a musical to be so original that I have virtually nothing to compare it to, but such is the case with Maybe Happy Ending. The show sticks with you, and Darren Criss's performance is one of the many reasons why. (Fellow Glee alum Jonathan Groff for Just in Time is a close second for me in this category; His portrayal of Bobby Darin is so endearing, I genuinely walked away from the show thinking, Does Jonathan Groff…love me? At the end of the day, there was too much Jonathan in the performance and though it was evidently directed that way—Jonathan starts the show as himself—I've got to give it to Darren for his transformation alone.) The physicality in Darren's performance is just one piece of a perfect puzzle. Vocals? Check. Acting? Check. Comedic timing? Check. But it's the way he moves that really does the trick. He isn't Darren. He is Oliver—a retired robot companion who is longer of use to his human owner. My only gripe with the entire production is costume designer Clint Ramos's bizarre choice to put him in hideous blue pants. Pants aside, watching Darren navigate the newfound feelings of love opposite costar Helen J. Shen (who was wrongfully snubbed in the Actress category) as their characters face impending obsolescence head-on is nothing short of witnessing a miracle. Go see it. Bring tissues. The nominees in this category are Darren Criss for Maybe Happy Ending, Andrew Durand for Dead Outlaw, Tom Francis for Sunset Blvd., Jonathan Groff for Justin In Time, James Monroe Iglehart for A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical, and Jeremy Jordan for Floyd Collins. BUY MAYBE HAPPY ENDING TICKETS HERE I'm so entranced by Nicole Scherzinger's voice that I've been to see her play Norma Desmond five times. Yes, five. I've made it a point to burn this performance into my brain. That's how good it is. When audiences say an actor is putting on the performance of a lifetime, this is what they mean. I'm in awe of Nicole's ability to make us believe she is a washed-up star fighting for her life against the sands of time despite seeing a beautiful woman donning nothing but a slinky black slip before us. If I were an actress in a leading role on Broadway right now, I'd be campaigning against myself to make sure she won, which brings us to the showdown I mentioned in the intro! I'm somewhat baffled Audra McDonald is being considered to this degree for her performance in Gypsy. To be clear: Audra is a legend. There is no denying that. But she's miscast as Mama Rose. Her vocals fall short, and she's often shrill and off-key. People seem to be wary of having a dissenting viewpoint about the performance of a woman who holds the record for the most Tony Awards won by a actor. Critics are writing in circles to justify the shortcomings, and it's honestly impressive to witness the allegiance the Broadway community is exhibiting toward her. But she has six trophies already and hasn't earned this shot at a seventh. Audra is acting her face off, but we're talking about a musical category here. You've got to sing the part too! The real showdown should be between Nicole and newcomer Jasmine Amy Rogers for her Broadway debut in BOOP! The Musical in the titular role. Jasmine's Betty is fully realized, deeply charming, and technically flawless. Who knows…maybe Nicole and Audra will split the votes and Jasmine will eke out a win! The nominees in this category are Megan Hilty for Death Becomes Her, Audra McDonald for Gypsy, Jasmine Amy Rogers for BOOP! The Musical, Nicole Scherzinger for Sunset Blvd., and Jennifer Simard for Death Becomes Her. BUY SUNSET BLVD TICKETS HERE Glenn Davis's performance as ex-con Solomon 'Junior' Jasper is filled with equal parts humor and heartbreak. His commitment to the intricacies of this role, specifically, is what made Purpose such an enjoyable experience. His character is deeply flawed and easily unlikable, but I was drawn to Junior's emotionally rich storyline most and found myself missing him anytime he left the stage. In addition to acting in this stellar ensemble cast, Glenn had a huge part in shepherding the production's journey from Chicago to Broadway. As co–artistic director of Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company—where the Branden Jacobs-Jenkins play was first commissioned—Glenn helped turn a once 30-page draft into the highest-grossing play in Steppenwolf history. He deserves this on so many levels. Even so, this category can go so many ways. I reckon Glenn's biggest competition is the more-famous Bob Odenkirk for his performance as Shelley Levene in the widely beloved Glengarry Glen Ross, but I'm hopeful the voting block will prioritize performance over star power. Conrad Ricamora for Oh, Mary! would please me, but I want to see it happen for Glenn (though Francis Jue may ultimately have it in the bag for Yellow Face). The nominees in this category are Glenn Davis for Purpose, Gabriel Ebert for John Proctor Is the Villain, Francis Jue for Yellow Face, Bob Odenkirk for Glengarry Glen Ross, and Conrad Ricamora for Oh, Mary!. BUY PURPOSE TICKETS HERE The way the audience lit up every time Fina Strazza delivered a line will go down as one of my favorite theatergoing experiences. Everyone inside the Booth Theater was eating out of the palm of her hand. She plays Beth Powell, a lovable teacher's pet who, despite her try-hard tendencies, is accepted by her peers as the leader of their pack. Beth exhibits the most growth throughout the show, and Fina's choices as an actor keep you on your toes. She can make her peers laugh without being a clown, can be mean without making them hate her, and can become a know-it-all without anyone rolling their eyes. The audience is on the same page. We're rooting for Beth, and in turn for Fina. This show is the most Tony-nominated play this season and I really hope Fina secures one of its wins. She's only 19 years old, but her performance is wise beyond her years. I hope she lands this Tony and that it catapults her career to new heights. If you can't make it to New York to see the show, you can catch Fina in the slasher film Fear Street: Prom Queen on Netflix. The nominees in this category are Tala Ashe for English, Jessica Hecht for Eureka Day, Marjan Neshat for English, Fina Strazza for John Proctor Is the Villain, and Kara Young for Purpose. BUY JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN TICKETS HERE I was really on the fence about who to give this one to until I saw Taylor Trensch as reporter Skeets Miller in Floyd Collins, and my mind was made up. I was initially considering Brooks Ashmanskas for SMASH, but I was too hung up on how similar his portrayal of Nigel was to his character Barry Glickman in The Prom circa 2018. Brooks is hilarious! But so is Taylor, whose comedic brilliance is delivered quietly and truthfully. The thing these actors have in common? They are both undeniable standouts in two honestly-not-so-great shows. They might be nominated as featured, but they are the unsung captains of two aimless ships. Taylor wins out in the end for me with a surprising performance that anchors an otherwise sleepy production as its emotional through line. This award will more likely go to Danny Burstein for Gypsy (there's an odd hive-mind thing happening with that show, in my opinion). But my heart lies in the hills of Kentucky with Skeets. The nominees in this category are Brooks Ashmanskas for SMASH, Jeb Brown for Dead Outlaw, Danny Burstein for Gypsy, Jak Malone for Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical, and Taylor Trensch for Floyd Collins. BUY FLOYD COLLINS TICKETS HERE All the nominees in this category are beyond deserving. And that includes Joy Woods for Gypsy, despite my very-evident feelings about that revival! Gracie Lawrence brings down the house as Connie Francis in Just in Time. Justina Machado's performance feels like a hug from your mom in Real Women Have Curves: The Musical. And Julia Knitel is doing her big one in Dead Outlaw. But it's Natalie Venetia Belcon who plays the role of Omara Portuondo, a legendary Cuban vocalist and dancer, in the breathtaking production of Buena Vista Social Club who takes the cake. She delivers a spirited performance that makes you want to get up on your feet and dance. You can't deny the power of her voice or the depth of her performance. Natalie is a Lucille Lortel Award winner and a Drama Desk nominee known for appearing in musicals like Avenue Q, Matilda, and Rent, but this is her first Tony nomination. I really hope it delivers for her. The nominees in this category are Natalie Venetia Belcon for Buena Vista Social Club, Julia Knitel for Dead Outlaw, Gracie Lawrence for Just in Time, Justina Machado for Real Women Have Curves: The Musical, and Joy Woods for Gypsy. BUY BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB TICKETS HERE The 2025 Tony Awards ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS on Sunday, June 8 at 8:00 p.m. ET. It will also be available to stream live on Paramount+ for subscribers with Showtime and on-demand the day after for Paramount+ Essential subscribers.

‘Snow White' Star Rachel Zegler Lands First Film Role After Disney Dud
Rachel Zegler at the 97th Oscars held at the Dolby Theatre on March 2, 2025 in Hollywood, ... More California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) Snow White star Rachel Zegler, who has been at the center of the film's controversies for the past three-plus years, has her next movie role lined up. Snow White, of course, has been a box office disaster for Disney, having earned an underwhelming $42.2 million from 4,200 North American theaters in its opening weekend in March and dropping 66% in business in its second Friday to Sunday frame. Over the weekend, Snow White tumbled out of the domestic box office top 10 after dropping its theater count to 610 venues, down more from 1,650 theaters the week before. As of Monday, Snow White has earned nearly $85.8 million in North American theaters and $114.4 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $200.2 million to date against a $269.4 million production budget before prints and advertising expenses. Despite the film's financial woes, it hasn't prevented Zegler from landing her first screen role following the live-action Snow White remake. According to Variety, Zegler will star opposite Oscar winner Marisa Tomei in the comedy drama She Gets It From Me. Per Variety, the film — which will be directed by Julia von Heinz — is based on a true story about a woman named Nicky (Zegler), 'whose engagement celebration turns into a search for her pill-popping, ex-punk rocker birth mother, Charlotte (Tomei).' There's no word when She Gets It From Me will start production. A week prior to the release of Snow White in theaters, Variety reported that Zegler was cast in the lead role of Argentine political leader Eva Perón in Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic musical Evita, which will stage in London's West End. Previews for the Zegler-led Evita begin in June and the musical opens in July. SEGOVIA, SPAIN - MARCH 12: Rachel Zegler at the European event for Disney's "Snow White" at Alcazar ... More de Segovia on March 12, 2025 in Segovia, Spain. (Photo byfor Disney) Rachel Zegler, of course, made headlines in 2022 for referring to the prince in the original animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as a stalker in a 2022 red carpet interview with Extra TV, where she also said the 'cartoon' was dated. In addition, the actor also made waves with a post on X in August of 2024, where she followed up a post thanking Snow White fans for watching the film's trailer with another post that read, 'and always remember, free Palestine.' Then, in November, Zegler created social media posts calling out newly re-elected President Donald Trump and his MAGA supporters, for which she later apologized (via Variety). Following a report on all the controversies that brewed during the production of Snow White's production, Jonah Platt, the son of Snow White producer Marc Platt, took Zegler's social media actions to task in a scathing Instagram post. Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler in the title role and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, is still playing in theaters.

Sebastian Stan reveals 'Hot Tub Time Machine' residuals saved his career before Marvel fame
Sebastian Stan reveals 'Hot Tub Time Machine' residuals saved his career before Marvel fame Show Caption Hide Caption Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan arrive on Oscars 2025 red carpet Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Penélope Cruz, Gal Gadot and more arrive on the 97th Oscars red carpet. Entertain This! Sebastian Stan's Marvel superstardom may have never happened if it wasn't for a raunchy 2010 comedy. In a conversation with Vanity Fair published April 21, the Oscar-nominated actor, 42, reflected on how much the role of Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe changed his life. Stan recalled how he was "actually struggling with work" before he was cast in 2011's "Captain America: The First Avenger." "I had just gotten off the phone with my business manager, who told me I was saved by $65,000 that came in residuals from 'Hot Tub Time Machine,'" he told Vanity Fair. In the 2010 comedy about a group of friends who go back in time through a hot tub at a ski resort, Stan played the over-the-top bully character Blaine, who gets into a fight with Rob Corddry's Lou. Sebastian Stan says other actors are 'afraid' to interview him for his Donald Trump movie "Hot Tub Time Machine" was one of Stan's earliest movies after he previously had roles in films like "Rachel Getting Married" and shows like "Gossip Girl." In a conversation with Variety last year, he said he had some of the "most fun I've ever had on a project" working on "Hot Tub Time Machine." One year after the movie's release, Stan debuted as Steve Rogers' (Chris Evans) buddy Bucky Barnes in "Captain America: The First Avenger," catapulting him to global fame. He has now played the character across numerous Marvel films and TV shows for nearly 15 years, including in May's "Thunderbolts," which pairs him with Florence Pugh's Yelena from "Black Widow." Stan has also been announced as part of the massive cast of 2026's "Avengers: Doomsday." Sebastian Stan talks his total Trump-ification for new movie 'The Apprentice' Stan previously starred as Bucky in 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War" and 2019's "Avengers: Endgame." In a full circle moment for the actor, "Endgame" included a scene where Paul Rudd's Ant-Man references "Hot Tub Time Machine" during a discussion about the rules of time travel. "I was watching the movie and they made that reference, and I kind of looked around excited, but no one cared," Stan joked during a 2019 panel. "I was the only one that really cared." During that same panel, Stan also touched on his past career struggles, revealing that in 2011, his business manager warned, "You have one month left until you're completely bankrupt." He quipped, "That's always a good call."

The Butter Yellow Trend Explained
From fashion to home decor—butter yellow is in full bloom this Spring. Getty Images As the dark, bland palette of winter gives rise to pops of color and longer days, Spring design is in full bloom. A quarter into the year and it appears we're already resigned to let the Pantone color of the year—mocha mousse—melt away with the snow. In its place, another color named after a decadent food has taken center stage—butter yellow. Timothée Chalamet at the 97th Oscars wearing a custom butter yellow Givenchy suit. WWD via Getty Images The delicate pastel yellow is everywhere right now, but it's been quietly ascending over the past year. Timothée Chalamet made a statement dressed head-to-toe in the buttery shade on this year's Oscars red carpet, while Sabrina Carpenter was spotted in butter yellow at New York's Governor's Ball and Variety's Power of Young Hollywood party last year. Sophie Turner and FKA Twigs have both graced the cover of British Vogue in butter yellow, and numerous other celebrities have been spotted wearing the shade, including Rihanna, Aubrey Plaza and Hailey Bieber. More recently, the color has appeared on the runways of high fashion houses, including Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Versace and Jil Sander. Sabrina Carpenter wears a butter yellow dress during the 2024 Governors Ball Music Festival. Getty Images Like melting butter, the shade's popularity is trickling down to mass fashion retailers, such as Gap and Abercrombie & Fitch, and into home design, with KitchenAid announcing butter yellow its 2025 'Color of the Year.' CB2 senior director of design and development, Andrea Erman says they've seen an uptick in sales of butter yellow textiles, such as their Seda silk curtains. Similarly, design studio Nivak Remas has seen a rise in butter yellow requests for a variety of settings. 'Whether through upholstery, accent décor, or painted finishes, butter yellow is being embraced as a way to add warmth without overwhelming a space,' says Nivak Remas co-founder Kevin Chan. 'We've also noticed its presence in spa and wellness environments, where it fosters relaxation and lightness.' Versace RTW Spring 2025 collection. WWD via Getty Images Its relaxing effect might explain why butter yellow is so popular at this particular moment. Personal stylist Dacy Gillespie admittedly doesn't love the color herself, but understands its appeal, 'It's a soft and soothing color, it's almost a baby color—like a nursery color—maybe that's what those of us in the United States are craving right now.' Nivek Remas co-founder Samer Shaath agrees, 'butter yellow embodies warmth, comfort, and nostalgia—qualities people are craving right now.' As we move away from the stark minimalism of the early aughts, the Shaath says butter yellow is a softer, more approachable take on yellow. Erman similarly highlights the shade's delicate duality, 'it brings a sense of optimism without being overwhelming, offering a unique balance of brightness and warmth. As people crave environments that feel uplifting yet comforting, butter yellow stands out as a perfect choice to help achieve that.' 'It subconsciously reminds us of sunlight, fresh blooms, and cozy kitchens—elements that make a space feel welcoming and serene," says Nivek Remas co-founder Samer Shaath. getty Yellow's association with warmth and optimism make it a natural choice for Spring, but the pastel version offers a more gentle approach for easing out of hibernation into a more lively season. 'Unlike bolder yellows that energize, this softer shade has a grounding effect, fostering a sense of calm and happiness,' explains Shaath. 'It subconsciously reminds us of sunlight, fresh blooms, and cozy kitchens—elements that make a space feel welcoming and serene.' As our brains associate butter yellow with positivity and light, the shade can evoke relaxation and creativity too, according to CB2's Erman. It makes sense then, that we would gravitate to the color in our closet, after months spent blanketed in dark winter coats. "It brings a sense of optimism without being overwhelming," says Andrea Erman, CB2 director of design and development. Anthropologie The butter shade may appear a bold statement to some, but its surprisingly versatile both in fashion and design. 'Butter yellow is easy to style because it pairs well with both saturated colors and other lighter pastel colors,' says personal stylist Gillespie, who suggests wearing the shade with jeans. Erman agrees with the yellow-blue pairing, 'I find it works beautifully with blues and greens but for a stronger statement, pair it with bold rich red or deep neutrals to evoke some freshness.' The key to styling butter yellow, according to Chan is to be intentional about creating balance, given the color's flexibility. 'Butter yellow pairs beautifully with a variety of palettes—from soft neutrals and warm woods to deeper tones like navy or forest green.' 'For a subtle touch, start with textiles—throw pillows, drapes, or bedding in buttery tones,' suggests Kevin Chan, Nivek Remas co-founder. getty Incorporating butter yellow into the home depends on your comfortability with the color—you can start small or go big. 'For a subtle touch, start with textiles—throw pillows, drapes, or bedding in buttery tones,' suggests Chan. Erman suggests beginning with an accent, 'A beautiful, upholstered sofa or chair in the trending color could add lovely warmth to a living room while a linen pillow or artwork add a different layer of brightness.' If you're feeling more bold, Chan recommends painting cabinetry or an accent wall butter yellow to introduce warmth without overpowering your space. 'The color also shines in unexpected places, like a front door or a vintage-inspired tile backsplash,' the Nivek Remas co-founder says. "My advice would be to look at each trend and evaluate it objectively while keeping your personal style in mind," says personal stylist Dacy Gillespie. Getty Images Above all else, choose butter yellow only if it speaks to you. 'Everyone prefers different palettes and intensities of colors and you shouldn't wear a color just because it's on trend,' says Gillespie. 'My advice would be to look at each trend and evaluate it objectively while keeping your personal style in mind.' The personal stylist also recommends looking to buy second-hand when possible—Poshmark and eBay both offer a wide variety of styles in the shade.
