Latino Tony Winners through the Years: A Retrospective

The Tony Awards nominations were announced today, and we admit we're a bit bummed that no Latinos were nominated this year (except of course the superbly talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, a previous Tony winner who wrote the music for this year's hit Broadway musical Bring It On: The Musical, which was nominated for Best Musical). Congrats to Miranda!

We're proud of our history on the Great White Way; Latinos have as long a history in American theater as we have in movies. Check out our list of former latino Tony nominees below:

Who: Jose Ferrer
Awards: Best Actor in a Play—Cyrano de Bergerac, 1947, The Shrike, 1952; Best Director, Stalag 17, The Fourposter, The Shrike, 1952.
Ferrer was a one-person tour de force who could do it all—from starring in Shakespeare plays (he was part of a production of Othello that still holds the record for longest-running Shakespeare play in the U.S.) to directing himself to a Tony (The Shrike). He was a consummate actor and the Latino Broadway acting legend.
