Clooney was nominated for the "best actor in a play" category. He plays the journalist Edward R. Murrow in a stage adaptation of "Good Night, and Good Luck," a film he previously directed to great success. The Broadway play has broken box office records and marks Clooney's debut on the stage.
The play was the recipient of various Tony Award nominations, including best scenic and best costume design of a play. “It’s a thrill to have five nominations for this play,” said Clooney, per The Hollywood Reporter. “For everyone involved, this has been an incredible experience. I couldn’t be more proud or feel more lucky.”

“I am honored, after all these years, to be coming back to the stage and especially, to Broadway, the art form and the venue that every actor aspires to,” he said in a statement to Deadline.
The Tony Awards are on June 8th and will air on CBS.
