Hi, I'm Uzo Aduba and I'm nominated for Best Featured Actress in a Play
0:09
Here we are at Tony Day. How do you feel? I feel pretty
0:15
I feel so happy. I feel grateful. I feel like I cannot..
0:24
I'm so sorry. I do not think I have stopped smiling since the day
0:30
Since the day, I just feel grateful and overwhelmingly joyful. And just like I'm dreaming and I want no one to wake me up if I am
0:40
These are dreams we all have, I'm sure, as actors or actresses. Like, oh, but I could nominate for an award or something else
0:46
And you're like, oh, maybe I don't want to ask myself that or whatever. But then it happens when you put the work in and you get a play like Clive's
0:54
And then here you are on Tony Day. You got the Tony pin on. I know! Can you believe it
0:59
They're really pretty, right? It's pretty and it's fancy also, by the way. It's magnetic
1:04
It's amazing. It's something, you know... When I think about this day, I think about watching this
1:11
I've watched you and I've watched all of these clips. And people who come through season after season have this day happen
1:20
To be a part of it today now is just unbelievable. It's more than my brain can comprehend
1:26
But it's so exciting and it also feels wonderful to be a part of this community
1:30
To see everybody sort of coming by and being able to pay respect to people
1:34
whose shows you've gotten the fortune to see. Especially, I have to say, especially since we haven't had that for so long
1:42
So to be able to sort of come together and be reminded of this tribe
1:47
that we have the fortune of being a part of, this is wonderful. Because of your notoriety in other mediums, you introduced many people to something live for the very first time
1:56
How does that make you feel? Happy. It makes me feel happy, you know
2:02
Being in another space and being in other mediums has been wonderful
2:07
And it's been really exciting to see people who maybe haven't been in the theater space before
2:12
come to be a part of it and understand that it's just as thrilling and just as exciting as any other medium
2:19
And it's been a wonder and a dream to be in this show with incredible castmates
2:27
Our phenomenal writer Lynn, our director Kate. It's just a joy
