The 2026 Tony Awards nominations are announced in a Tuesday morning presentation, with Uzo Aduba and Darren Criss serving as the featured announcers for select categories. CBS News reports that Aduba and Criss announce the nominees on “CBS Mornings.” The New York Post similarly says the nominations are released with Aduba and Criss presenting, and it publishes a complete list of the nominees. The Hollywood Reporter focuses on the announcement event itself and describes the format, noting that Criss and Aduba co-host the live nominations coverage. It also references Criss’s recent Tony win for “Maybe Happy Ending,” while placing the announcement in the context of the scheduled live nominations presentation. Across the sources, there is agreement that both Aduba and Criss are involved in the nominations announcement, and that the nominees are made public on Tuesday with the release of a category-by-category list. Specific nominee titles and productions are not detailed in the provided excerpts, but the sources align on the date, announcers, and that the nomination list is published for public viewing.
