Here's how the cast of 'The Dropout' compares to the real-life people they're portraying

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Rosanne Barr said being fired from ABC was "terrifying" and a "message" to "commit suicide." </li><li>She was fired from "Roseanne" after posting a racist tweet about Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.</li></ul>Comedian Roseanne Barr is back in the spotlight again and speaking candidly about getting <a href="https://www.insider.com/roseanne-barr-history-racist-inflammatory-comments-2018-5">fired from the revival of her ABC sitcom "Roseanne"</a> in May 2018. She said that killing off her character Roseanne Barr was a "message" that unnamed former coworkers at ABC "did want me to commit suicide.""I've survived. I've come out on the other side of it, finally. But it was a witch-burning. And it was terrifying," she told <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2023-02-09/roseanne-barr-fox-nation-cancel-this" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Times reporter</a> Greg Braxton in advance of her new stand-up special, "Cancel This!" which premiers on Fox Nation on Monday. Barr's sitcom was taken off the air following a tweet she wrote that compared Barack Obama's adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape. "Muslim brotherhood &amp; planet of the apes had a baby=vj," <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/roseanne-barr-tweet-racist-valerie-jarrett-clintons2018-5">the post read</a>. A spinoff of the show called "The Conners" premiered on ABC in October 2018 and is currently in the middle of its fifth season. It follows members of the Conner family after the death of <a href="https://www.insider.com/roseanne-then-and-now-2018-1">their fictional matriarch, Roseanne Conner,</a> who was played by Barr.<div type="image" title="roseanne barr" height="1025" width="1367" msid="97808975" hostid="261" sizebytes="42054"></div>"I guess you would call it the dark night of the soul. I felt like the devil himself was coming against me to try to tear me apart, to punish me for believing in God," Barr told the Times, reflecting on the consequences she faced. She said she thought ABC "hated" her and claimed she wasn't allowed to apologize on the show. "I'm the only person who's lost everything, whose life's work was stolen, stolen by people who I thought loved me," Barr said, comparing the cancellation of her show and the friends she lost after the controversy to other polarizing comedians, <a href="https://www.insider.com/dave-chappelle-trans-controversy-netflix-closer-hannah-gadsby-2021-10">like Dave Chappelle</a> and <a href="https://www.insider.com/louis-ck-accused-sexual-misconduct-by-5-women-report-2017-11">Louis C.K.</a>As for her former "Roseanne" costars like Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, and John Goodman, who played members of her family and went on to <a href="https://www.insider.com/the-conners-review-the-show-is-much-stronger-without-roseanne-barr-2018-10">star in "The Conners,</a>" she said: "They shit on my contribution to television and the show itself. But I forgive everybody. I started thinking that God took me out of there to save me."<div type="image" title="The Conners" height="579" width="772" msid="97808976" hostid="261" sizebytes="60360"></div>Barr is also upset that, in her opinion, it didn't "faze" any of her former coworkers to "murder" Roseanne Barr on-screen (in season one of "The Conners," it's explained that Roseanne died off-screen of an opioid overdose). "When they killed my character off, that was a message to me, knowing that I'm <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/roseanne-talks-mental-health-issues-as-her-tv-character-is-killed-off-2018-10">mentally ill or have mental health issues</a>, that they did want me to commit suicide," Barr said. "They killed my character, and my character."

Roseanne Barr says being fired from the 'Roseanne' revival was a 'witch-burning' and a 'message' to 'commit suicide'

ABC might try to find out.&#xa0;According to <a href="http://ew.com/tv/2018/05/30/roseanne-barr-abc-new-show-conners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Weekly</a>, ABC is considering a spinoff with "Roseanne" actors - such as John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, and Sara Gilbert - that isn't technically "Roseanne" so that Barr wouldn't benefit financially from the show (she is its co-creator).ABC canceled its "Roseanne" reboot on Tuesday after Barr posted a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/roseanne-barr-tweet-racist-valerie-jarrett-clintons2018-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racist tweet against Valerie Jarrett</a>, an adviser to former President Obama, in which she compared Jarrett to an ape. The move was followed by an outpouring of different reactions to the news. Many were glad ABC canceled the show, as this <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/everything-that-led-to-abcs-roseanne-cancellation-2018-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wasn't the first controversy</a> surrounding the reboot and&#xa0;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/roseanne-barr-history-racist-inflammatory-comments-2018-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this isn't the first time Barr has made racist comments</a>.&#xa0;But people also called for Goodman and Metcalf to get their own show, and if ABC really pursues a spinoff, maybe they'll get their wish. Mindy Kaling even tweeted "Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman let me write things for you."ABC probably considers a spinoff starring the "Roseanne" actors, without Barr, a good compromise to salvage what is left of the reboot (despite the controversies, it was still a ratings success and the most popular show of the year). But there are obstacles to overcome.&#xa0;Sources told <a href="https://deadline.com/2018/05/roseanne-spinoff-chances-sara-gilbert-tom-werner-abc-1202400297/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deadline</a> that the chances of a spinoff with the rest of the "Roseanne" cast were "possible but not probable" and that it's a "long shot" to be ready by the fall. If it's not, as Deadline points out, ABC will have to figure out payment for the actors for the scrapped season 11.&#xa0;At any rate, Deadline reports that&#xa0;executive producers&#xa0;Tom Werner&#xa0;and&#xa0;Gilbert are expected to meet with series writers and showrunner Bruce Helford in the coming days to discuss ideas.&#xa0;But getting the actors on board a spinoff could be difficult. According to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/john-goodman-breaks-silence-after-roseanne-barr-controversy-exclusive-103260" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Tonight</a>, Goodman was reluctant to address the possibility of a spinoff, saying "you've heard more than I have." He also didn't seem too torn up about the show's cancellation: "I wasn't gonna get an Emmy anyway. I've been up there [11] times already, and if I didn't get one I'm not gonna get one."Barr herself has been on a Twitter spree since the show was cancelled,&#xa0;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/roseanne-barr-tweeted-throughout-night-after-roseanne-cancellation-2018-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deflecting blame</a>&#xa0;and calling out her co-stars. But on Thursday <a href="https://deadline.com/2018/05/roseanne-barr-i-begged-ben-sherwood-to-save-show-and-jobs-1202401448/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she tweeted that she "begged"</a>&#xa0;Disney-ABC&#xa0;Television Group President&#xa0;Ben Sherwood to not cancel the show. "I begged4 ppls jobs," she tweeted.Maybe those jobs will be saved after all if ABC can pull together a "Roseanne" spinoff - just not Barr's.More on "Roseanne":<ul><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/president-trump-disney-ceo-bob-iger-roseanne-barr-apology-2018-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Trump is mad at Disney's CEO because he apologized for Roseanne Barr's racist comments</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/roseanne-barr-tweeted-throughout-night-after-roseanne-cancellation-2018-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roseanne Barr said she was sorry, but then went on a Twitter spree deflecting blame for her racist tweet</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/cancelling-roseanne-may-have-cost-abc-100-million-but-saved-parent-company-disney-a-whole-lot-more-2018-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canceling 'Roseanne' may have cost ABC $100 million - but it saved Disney a whole lot more</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/abc-cancels-roseanne-after-racist-tweet-by-its-star-2018-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC cancels 'Roseanne' hours after racist tweet by its star</a></li><li><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/roseanne-barr-tweet-racist-valerie-jarrett-clintons2018-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roseanne Barr is under fire after a racist tweet</a></li></ul><div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman let me write things for you- Mindy Kaling (@mindykaling) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1001689030570971136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 30, 2018</a></blockquote><script async="" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">I hate that Roseanne took the livelihoods of cast and crew she didn't speak for with her.

Fans want a 'Roseanne' spinoff without Roseanne Barr and ABC is reportedly considering it

Since the first woman was nominated in 1977, only five women have been nominated for directing. And only one of them won, when Kathryn Bigelow won for directing "The Hurt Locker" in 2010. Director, writer, and actress Greta Gerwig, who was nominated for "Lady Bird," is only the fifth woman to be nominated for an Oscar in the best director category at the Academy Awards, which has occurred annually since 1929.Gerwig's critically acclaimed coming-of-age comedy earned her another nomination for best original screenplay. The movie's star Saoirse Ronan is up for best actress, and Laurie Metcalf for best supporting actress. A few weeks ago, Gerwig won best director in the comedy or musical category at the Golden Globes.Here are all the women who have been nominated for best director at the Oscars:

On Tuesday night, ABC aired two back-to-back episodes of "Roseanne." It generated impressive ratings, with a 5.1 rating in adults 18-49 and 18.2 million viewers for the entire hour, according to <a href="http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/roseanne-revival-abc-ratings-1202738237/">Variety</a>. For reference, NBC's reboot of "Will &amp; Grace" had 10.2 million viewers for its premiere in fall 2017. The ratings for the "Roseanne" reboot were also higher than they were for the series finale in 1997, which is staggering in a time of cord cutters and streaming. Trump was reportedly "enthralled" with "Roseanne's" TV ratings and was likely also impressed with the content. "Roseanne" depicts a working class family in the Midwest, and speaks to the kind of people who support Trump.Fox News was also <a href="http://deadline.com/2018/03/roseanne-reboot-fox-news-celebrates-ratings-1202355025/">impressed</a>. Sean Hannity <a href="https://twitter.com/seanhannity/status/979032615771570176">tweeted</a> "the 'Proud Deplorable' smashes expectations" Wednesday.In the first episode that aired, Roseanne is a Trump supporter and hasn't been on speaking terms with her Hillary-supporting sister Jackie (Oscar nominee Laurie Metcalf of "Lady bird") since the election. Things have gotten so bad that Roseanne pretends Jackie has died.Barr has publicly defended Trump in real life, just as she has on screen. In an interview with the Times on Tuesday, Barr said she decided to make her character on "Roseanne" a Trump supporter because she thought it would be an "accurate portrayal" of working-class Americans.On "Good Morning America" Thursday morning, Barr <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/380779-roseanne-barr-on-conversation-with-trump-hes-just-happy-for-me">referenced</a> her conversations with Trump: "We just kind of had a private conversation but we talked about a lot of things and he's just happy for me."Barr also acknowledged their mutual interest in ratings. "He really understands ratings and how they measure things, and that's kind of been an interest of mine too," she said. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-lush-make-packaging-free-shampoo-bars-saving-plastic-bottles-2018-3">This is how LUSH makes its solid, packaging-free shampoo - which saved the use of 15 million plastic bottles in 2016</a></h3> <div> <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/ETrvt3U4-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script> </div> </div>

Trump called Roseanne Barr to congratulate her on the high ratings for the 'Roseanne' reboot

Most of them are underrdogs, or complete longshots.Here are the most tweeted 2018 acting nominees:<ol><li>Daniel Kaluuya ("Get Out," nominated for best actor)</li><li>Timothée Chalamet ("Call Me by Your Name," nominated for best actor)</li><li>Saoirse Ronan ("Lady Bird," nominated for best actress)</li><li>Mary J. Blige, ("Mudbound," nominated for best supporting actress)</li><li>Margot Robbie ("I, Tonya," nominated for best actress) </li></ol>None of these performers are expected to win.Gary Oldman is the favorite for best actor for his role as Winston Churchill in "Darkest Hour," which will be a controversial win considering he was <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/gary-oldman-donya-fiorentino-domestic-abuse-ex-wife-actor-darkest-hour-four-years-assault-charges-a8194901.html">accused</a> of domestic abuse by his ex-wife. If he wins, the reaction will likely be negative, if Casey Affleck's <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/casey-affleck-withdraws-from-presenting-at-oscars-2018-1">win last year</a> for "Manchester by the Sea" is any indication. In the best actress category, Ronan and Robbie will probably lose to favorite Frances McDormand for her work in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," a movie that's <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/oscars-2018-three-billboards-outside-missouri-backlash-2018-1">stirred controversy</a> for its empathetic portrayal of racist characters. Although Blige and fellow nominee Laurie Metcalf ("Lady Bird") have a lot of support from fans, Allison Janney is expected to win for "I, Tonya."Despite admirable and important efforts to finally diversify its voters, it seems like the Academy is still a bit out of touch with popular culture when it comes to picking the winners. This year, all the expected winners are white and straight characters, although plenty of the nominees that are people of color (Blige, Kaluuya) or portrayed gay characters (Chalamet) are just as deserving (or more) of a win.Perhaps this is because Academy voters are in the industry, or used to be, so their perspective on what's fresh differs from what regular audiences see. But this could also mean that despite a wider range of voters, the older, more expected votes still dominate the Oscars.And even though some actors are frontrunners, that doesn't mean they'll win. The Academy could still surprise us! <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-all-nine-2018-best-picture-oscar-nominees-are-connected-academy-awards-movies-2018-2">You can connect all 9 Best Picture Oscar nominees with actors they have in common - here's how</a></h3> <div> <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/ogOEzou6-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script> </div> </div>

Things have gotten so bad that Roseanne just pretends Jackie is dead.Throughout the episode, Roseanne's daughter Darlene (Sarah Gilbert) tries to help her mom and her aunt find some common ground. However, Jackie comes to Roseanne's house dressed in a bright pink "Nasty Woman" T-shirt and a pink hat from the Women's March. That doesn't help matters between them, but&#xa0;by the end of the episode, Roseanne and Jackie find that common ground Darlene wanted.&#xa0;A lot of people who were fans of the original show found the fact that Roseanne is a Trump supporter upsetting.

What has wowed audiences about "Lady Bird" (currently playing in theaters) is its authentic feel focused on coming-of-age and family. These are two things that almost any audience member can relate to.Gerwig, who in the early 2000s became the face of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumblecore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mumblecore</a> genre with her captivating acting talent, also got her own ideas to the screen through writing (a highlight was Noah Baumbach's 2012 film "Frances Ha"), and codirecting "Nights and Weekends" in 2008 with Joe Swanberg."Lady Bird" is a culmination of the work she's absorbed in front of and behind the camera throughout her career.A semi-autobiographical look at her youth growing up in Sacramento, California, the movie revolves around the senior year of Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson (beautifully acted by Saoirse Ronan). Literally living on the wrong side of the tracks, Lady Bird is seeking more than what her current circumstances offer. She wants to live in a better part of town, she wants to lose her virginity to a hot guy, and she wants to go to a college on the East Coast. The latter is the hardest because of her family's financial situation. Already struggling to pay the bills, things get worse when her dad (Tracy Letts) gets laid off. This puts even more pressure on her mom (Laurie Metcalf) to do it all.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5a2df762a3b47488378b4c81-1499/ladybird2a24.jpg" alt="ladybird2a24" data-mce-source="A24">A24The core of "Lady Bird" is the mother-daughter relationship.</img></div></div></div>Lady Bird is basically Andie in "Pretty in Pink," but she's got a lot more guts and doesn't give a damn what people think about her.The center of Gerwig's story is the relationship between Lady Bird and her mother, which is constantly hot and cold. Conversations with them can jump from happiness to cutthroat hatred in the blink of an eye (or vice versa). It's watching this emotional relationship that leads to the movie's powerful ending.And along with drama, Gerwig also gives us a lot of comedy.The movie's 94-minute running time flies by because Gerwig's pacing is at lightspeed. With jump cuts and brief scenes, Gerwig plows through the story, and with a lot of the fat trimmed, when a meaty scene comes up, it pays off because there is importance to it. These scenes can come in the form of a mother-daughter (or father) chat; Lady Bird navigating her relationship with best friend, Julie (Beanie Feldstein); or exploring love or lack thereof with a boyfriend (Lucas Heges followed by Timothée Chalamet).And set in 2002-2003, Gerwig pulls off the nostalgia perfectly by including some great needle drops, including Alanis Morissette's "Hand in My Pocket," Bone Thugs N Harmony's "Crossroads," Justin Timberlake's "Cry My A River," and Dave Matthews Band's "Crash Into Me."Though Gerwig's talents as a writer-director shine, it's the casting of Ronan in the lead that makes "Lady Bird" such a memorable work. The layers she gives the character will make the performance go down as one of the best high school characters ever.The movie is one of the best teen movies I've seen in a long time, you should really find time to see it.<div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cNi_HC839Wo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-jay-z-and-beyonce-spend-116-billion-million-mansions-islands-jewelry-blue-ivy-tidal-ivy-park-22-days-nutrition-2017-5">Here's how Jay-Z and Beyoncé spend their $1.16 billion</a></h3> <div> <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/IBZPhcCe-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script> </div> </div></hr>

(Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP)</img></div></div></div>NEW YORK (AP) - As presenter Barbra Streisand noted, "tonight our joy is tinged with sorrow" - and she wasn't the only one making reference to the horrific Orlando shootings during the Tony Awards ceremony. But the night was also a celebration of the power of theater to bring joy. And there much joy for the cast and creators of the wildly popular "Hamilton," which won a whopping 11 Tonys.A look at some of the night's top moments, both onstage and off, and a list of all the winners:A SEARING SONNET"Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, the eloquent hero of this Broadway season, is known for giving acceptance speeches in freestyling rap. But on this night, he told the crowd, he opted to write a sonnet instead. His own tears over the Orlando tragedy were infectious, as he spoke of "when senseless acts of tragedy remind us that nothing is promised, not one day." But, he added: "Hope and love last longer, and love is love is love is love."<div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4nsg0tE11Gw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>THE LOOK OF DIVERSITYFor all the talk about diversity and inclusiveness this season (absent at the Oscars, present at the Tonys), nothing could beat one powerful image: All four of the musical acting winners were black actors. "Think of tonight as the Oscars, but with diversity," host James Corden had said at the beginning of the show. "It's so diverse that Donald Trump has threatened to build a wall around this theater."CORDEN'S BROADWAY CREDSpeaking of Corden, after his own somber opening referring to Orlando - a piece he pre-recorded to be sure to get it right - the late-night TV host delighted the crowd with an ode to what seemed like dozens of past Broadway shows, from "Les Miserables" to "Phantom of the Opera" to "Sweeney Todd" to "Grease." And there's no easier way to win over a theater-loving audience than to sing a few bars from "Rose's Turn" in "Gypsy."WHAT YOU DIDN'T SEEDuring commercial breaks, Corden worked the crowd a bit, and this included enlisting prominent audience members for impromptu singalongs. He got Jeff Daniels to sing from "The Sound of Music," and he got Jake Gyllenhaal and Sean Hayes to sing from "Aladdin." When he saw that Gyllenhaal was chewing gum, he simply took it and put it in his own mouth.OUTSIDE ANTICSSpeaking of singalongs, Corden adopted the "Hamilton" practice of performing for a streetside crowd, actual putting on brief shows outside the Beacon Theater. This made for some odd combinations, like Miranda and Andrew Lloyd Webber joining Steve Martin and Edie Brickell in singing "Tomorrow" from "Annie" - or the cast of "Fiddler on the Roof" singing "There's No Business Like Show Business" from "Annie Get Your Gun."A BLAST FROM THE PAST FOR GROBANSpeaking of "Fiddler," Corden had a surprise for presenter Josh Groban: He unearthed, and played, a clip of the singer performing Tevye as a high school student. Groban seemed to have a good sense of humor about it.GIVING THANKSMany people thank their parents or their kids in their speeches, but Renee Elise Goldsberry, who plays Angelica Schuyler in "Hamilton," had an especially poignant moment speaking about her years-long struggle to become a mother. "If you know anything about me you know I've spent the last 10 years just trying to have children," she said. "God gave me Benjamin, he gave me Brielle - and he still gave me this," she said, gesturing to her Tony.YOU NEVER KNOWIvo Van Hove, who won for best direction of a play ("Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge,") told the story of how when he first came to New York at age 20, he met a woman on a park bench, and told her he was an aspiring theater director. She asked for his autograph - because, she said, "you never know." So, the director surmised in his Tony speech: "She's watching now and thinking, 'See? I was right.'"PARTYING LIKE THERE'S NO (PERFORMANCE) TOMORROWIf you were the "Hamilton" cast, wouldn't YOU be partying? The "Hamilton" bunch had a day off on Monday, and it's a good thing: their after-party Sunday night was way cooler than the official post-Tony gala. The show took over the Tavern on the Green restaurant in Central Park, and danced to a DJ until the early hours. Rapper Common, who introduced "Hamilton" at the ceremony, was among the guests. Besides eating, drinking and dancing, one could pose against a green screen and be inserted into a famous "Hamilton" photograph.BARBRA DRESSES JUST RIGHTIntroducing Streisand, Corden warned that medical personnel were standing by, just in case her return was too exciting for some. She was appearing on the Tony stage for the first time since 1970 to present the award for Best Musical - to "Hamilton," of course. "You're making me verklempt!" she called out when the crowd gave her an ovation. Dressed in a ruffled, high-collared white blouse and black vest, she quipped when she opened the envelope: "Thank God I picked the right outfit."A LITTLE SELF-ESTEEM CAN'T HURTSheldon Harnick, the 92-year-old lyricist, wasn't above a little healthy self-promotion when he received his Lifetime Achievement Award.Responding to the accolades that had just been showered upon him, he replied: "Thank you. If I didn't deserve it, this would be embarrassing."BELOW ARE ALL THE WINNERS:Best Play "Eclipsed" "The Father" WINNER: "The Humans" "King Charles III"Best Musical "Bright Star" WINNER: "Hamilton" "School of Rock-The Musical" "Shuffle Along, Or the Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed" "Waitress"Best Revival of a Play "Arthur Miller's The Crucible" WINNER: "Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge" "Blackbird" "Long Day's Journey Into Night" "Noises Off"RELATED: <a href="http://www.ew.com/gallery/tony-awards-2016-red-carpet-arrivals" target="_blank">Tony Awards 2016 Red Carpet Arrivals: See the Photos</a>Best Revival of a Musical WINNER: "The Color Purple" "Fiddler on the Roof" "She Loves Me" "Spring Awakening"Best Book of a Musical "Bright Star," Steve Martin WINNER: "Hamilton", Lin-Manuel Miranda "School of Rock-The Musical," Julian Fellowes "Shuffle Along, Or the Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed,"&#xa0;George C.
