Lesley Manville and John Lithgow win top Tony awards.

The English actress won for her performance as Jocasta in Oedipus, while Lithgow was honoured for his role in Giant, in which he stars as children's book author Roald Dahl. "I'm such a lucky actor," Lithgow gushed. "This is my third Tony Award. My first one was 53 years ago at my Broadway debut. Two Tony bookends with 53 years between them. In those years, I have worked with hundreds of just fantastic theatre artists. I've had dozens and dozens of ecstatic moments on the stage, but I have to tell you right now, this moment has got to be one of the best."
