Audra McDonald looked GAWRGEOUS Sunday night at the Tony Awards in New York City.

The Private Practice actress (try saying that 5 time fast!) graced the red carpet at Radio City Music Hall in a simple, but stunning black and white David Meister colorblock gown that gave her a killer hourglass silhouette.

With her hair pulled to the side in soft curls, Audra's accessories included large pink teardrop earrings and a dazzling smile.

She may not have been up for a Tony this year, but she's definitely one of the best dressed!

WHOA.

Did the winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best Performance By An Actress in a Leading Role in a Play just hit on her presenter, Christopher Plummer?!

Which is exactly what happened when Nina Arianda took home her first Tony for Her work in Venus in Fur!

AWESOME!

However, when Audra McDonald was called to the stage to accept her Award for Best Performance By An Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for Porgy & Bess, her acceptance speech was slightly more emotional, as she thanked the Theatre for helping her find her place as young person, and how grateful she is for her family and children!

So incredibly touching!

Ch-ch-check out both speeches (above)!

We are LOVING all of these first-time wins!

Congrats, you guys!

Helloooooooo, nurse!

The series once seemed ripe for cancellation, but a recent ratings spike has ABC leaning toward renewing Private Practice for a sixth and final season.

Hollywood buzz has these ridiculously good-looking Grey’s Anatomy castaways healthcare professionals coming back for 13 more episodes.

We feel like we've just been injected with 200 CC’s of AWESOME!

We are excited to see

We had the pleasure and privilege of watching Porgy and Bess on Broadway Tuesday night, or as we jokingly told our friend - Porgy And The Coke Harlot!

The show was so pleasurable on so many levels! Hearing a full orchestra on Broadway is divine! But, what was most spectacular were those voices! And the performances!

EVERYONE in the cast was truly truly astounding! Even David Alan Grier, whom we only knew from In Living Color but has a great voice and stellar acting chops!

As the lead characters, Norm Lewis and Audra McDonald were masterful! Both of them! We just sat there in awe! Both of them!!!

McDonald's part is so vocally challenging! And she makes it seem effortless! So exquisitely controlled and passionate! We don't know how she does it for that many shows a week!

It was such a treat to get to see her live! The last thing we saw her in was Ragtime a hella long time ago! And the last time we had the pleasure of seeing Lewis on Broadway was when he was in Side Show, which is one of our top 3 musicals of all time!

The entire supporting cast was splendid as well!

Changes were made to the Gershwin classic, at the behest of the estate, and we are glad. There is no "happy ending", though it does feel more upbeat than the original. And, thankfully, instead of the four hour running time, this version was trimmed to a little less than three hours.

Three magnificent, drama-filled hours of musicality and beauty!

Porgy And Bess is a must-see! Congratulations to Audra McDonald and Norm Lewis on their very well-deserved Tony nominations!
