Tonys 2016: all of the winners at the 70th annual awards

The 70th annual Tony Awards, honoring the best and brightest of Broadway for the 2015-'16 season, handed out 24 golden statuettes on Sunday. Actor, Late Late Show host, and former Tony winner James Corden hosted.

The runaway hit Hamilton, a hip-hop musical retelling of the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton, won big, as expected. With 16 nominations in 13 categories, it took home 11 Tonys, including Best Musical, leaving it just shy of The Producers' record for 12 Tonys in 2002.

As expected, Hamilton also won Best Book and Score, giving composer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda a chance to deliver an emotional acceptance speech, in the form of a sonnet, that honored the Orlando shooting victims.

Hamilton also won Tonys for Best Featured Actress (Renée Elise Goldsberry, for her role as Angelica Schuyler), Best Featured Actor (Daveed Diggs, for his dual roles of Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson), Leading Actor (Leslie Odom Jr. for his role as Aaron Burr; Odom beat out Miranda himself, who was nominated for his role as Hamilton), and Best Direction (Thomas Kail).

Meanwhile, in the technical categories, announced before the telecast, the show won awards for Best Choreography, Best Lighting Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Orchestrations.

In a triumph for diversity on Broadway, all four of this year's acting awards for musicals went to people of color. Joining Goldsberry, Diggs, and Odom was Cynthia Erivo, who won the Tony for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her heart-wrenching performance as Celie in The Color Purple.

For the first time, all four winners of the Tonys' musical performance categories were people of color.

In the plays categories, a.k.a. the red-headed stepchildren of the Tonys, honors were split between The Humans (four awards, including Best Play),and The View from the Bridge (only two awards, but big ones: Best Revival of a Play and Best Direction of a Play).
