Ahhh, the Tonys! The award show where some of the biggest and brightest names—and some soon to be big names come together to lend their talents to an art form that doesn't always get its just dues.

But because we love to celebrate Blackness in all of it's many facets and with the 2024 nominations being revealed on Tuesday, we felt it fitting to celebrate our brothers, sisters and projects who received some well-deserved recognition.

The 2024 Tony Awards, hosted by Ariana DeBose, will air LIVE on Sunday, June 16, 2024 at 8p.m. ET on the CBS and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+.

Now let's get into our nominees...
