Sarah Snook wins Tony award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in The Picture of Dorian Gray
Australian actor Sarah Snook has won a Tony award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play for The Picture of Dorian Gray. The play marked Snook's Broadway debut. "This is an intimidating room full of incredibly talented people," Snook told the crowd upon accepting her award. Stars including George Clooney, Cynthia Erivo, Ben Stiller and Keanu Reeves were present at the awards ceremony. "Thank you so much for this," Snook said. Snook thanked her team, and people associated with the show. "It's billed as a one person show and I don't feel alone in any night that I do this show," Snook said. "There are so many people on stage making it work and so many people behind the stage making it work." Snook singled out director Kip Williams who is also nominated. She also thanked her husband Dave Lawson "for keeping the family together". Snook is on her way to EGOT status — when a performer has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. Snook already has an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Succession. The Picture of Dorian Gray was nominated in six categories, with seven Australians recognised. Australian Marg Horwell has also won for Best Costume Design of a Play.
