James Monroe Iglehart announced the 2020 Tony Award nominations October 15. With the abbreviated season, atypical timing, and its digital nature, this year's awards are anything but normal. Still, the newly named nominees and people in the industry (including some nominees' relatives who are also Broadway favorites!) took to social media to share their thoughts and reactions.

Heeeeeyyyyyyyy!!! My brother Adam (@kidsandwolves) got a @TheTonyAwards nomination!!! His play @SoundInsideBwy was beautiful, and even though I’m biased, I’m glad to see it get this well-deserved recognition. https://t.co/ANEJ1BjyCW
