Cherry Jones, Doubt
Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play
Thank you so much. Kathleen Turner, you are genius in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? And you and your cast mustn't be missed. John Patrick Shanley, you have written a great American play that is going to be performed around the world. And you and Doug Hughes are the reason why I am standing here right now. Doug Hughes, you are a blessing and every actor in New York wants to work with you so pace yourself, please! Deep thanks to Manhattan Theater Club, Carole Shorenstein Hays, Roger Berlind and Scott Rudin. Adriane, Heather and Mr. O'Byrne, I stand in awe of you every night. Lucky, lucky me. Linda Wilson and Jewell Walker, I thank you for your care as my greatest teachers, and to my beloved family in Tennessee, I am so proud to belong to you, and Laura Winfield, I share this with you. Thank you so much, thank you American Theatre Wing.
