Yay! The first award of the evening!

And it was a first-time win!

That's right, Paul Rudd was on hand to announce the 2012 Tony Award's Best Performance By An Actress In A Featured Role In A Play, and it was Judith Light who won for her work in Other Desert Cities!

Wow!

Did she sky-rocket through that acceptance speech or what?!

You could just tell how shocked and thrilled she was!

Congrats, gurl!

Well, we think it's safe to say that three of these could sweep this entire year's ceremony!

The 2012 Tony Awards Nominations were announced this morning by Kristin Chenoweth and Jim Parsons, and on top of Bernadette Peters and Hugh Jackman receiving honorary awards - as we reported yesterday - it's clear that there are three big frontrunners this year, as the musical Once managed to garner 11 nods, with Nice Work If You Can Get It and The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess following close behind with 10 each!

Holy shiz! That is seriously impressive!

We can't wait to see how they do when the ceremony airs on June 10th! How about U?!

Ch-ch-check out the full list of nominations…AFTER THE JUMP!
