Nomination attese e a dir poco rumorose quelle che hanno visto i Tony Award, Oscar del teatro, quest’oggi protagonisti (nuovo record per Hamilton con 16 candidature).
Grande esclusa Jennifer Hudson, da molti considerata addirittura la favorita finale grazie alla sua prova d’attrice nel musical Il Colore viola.
Vincitrice di un Oscar con Dreamgirls e giustamente corsa a Broadway per riprendere per i capelli quella carriera d’attrice negli anni malamente finita in acque paludose, Jennifer è stata invece completamente snobbata, a differenza di sue altre ‘celebri’ colleghe.
Vedi Lupito Nyong’o, premio Oscar con 12 anni Schiavo, e Michelle Williams, ma anche l’immancabile Meagan Hilty (Smash in tv) e la divina Jessica Lange, che ha così ‘giustificato’ l’addio seriale ad American Horror Story, Jane Krawkoski, Danielle Brooks e Laurie Metcalf. Tra gli uomini, invece, spazio a Jeff Daniels, Frank Langella, Gabriel Byrne e Zachary Levi.
La Hudson ha dovuto rinviare la sua personale caccia al mitologico EGOT (Emmy+Grammy+Oscar+Tony), avendo fino ad oggi vinto un Grammy e un Oscar.
Beffa delle beffe, Danielle Brooks e Cynthia Erivo, sua colleghe ne Il colore viola,  sono state candidate.
E allora vediamole, meravigliose, nel video ufficiale del lancio del musical.
