Tony Awards 2013: Best Leading Actor In A Musical (Billy Porter)

[@wheninrome345]

"Stark Sands, l share this award with you!! I'ma keep it at my house, but l share it wit you!!" Too funny!

[@IWillBeHers]

Stark's reaction is so cute! And Billy, oh gosh. "I share this award with you-but I'm gon' keep it at my house."

[@MRSGALVAN115]

Dfy t ffjjhj

[@docrichie9]

IWillBeHers I think he was actually WANTING and HOPING and ROOTING for Billy to win.

[@iago07]

Billy needs an Oscar and he’ll be an EGOT! This man is literally LOVE and JOY incarnate. 😍

[@annafowdy]

He has a Grammy?

[@shjakes]

Near the end of his memoir, Billy wrote about this epic moment. I came here to see it and I am all smiles.

[@RecySwan]

Me too! It’s perfect for the way it was shared in the memoir.

[@gloria8063]

Awww I love how Stark jumps up for Billy. And Billy's speech is so beautiful.

[@mariposa8430]

I love it when two people who are in the same show are nominated in the same category- They always get so excited if the other wins, like Stark with Billy, and when Idina won the Tony as Elphaba and Kristin was super excited for her. It shows how close these casts get and how much of a family they are.

"Your willingness to embrace that which you don't understand with unconditional love is a template that the world could benefit from". As true then as it is now; wonderfully stated.

[@charchaz00]

stark sands is so charming, that wink made me melt

[@iago07]

He’s a total cutie

[@RichochetK9]

Billy's happiness here made me cry like a baby. Well deserved.

[@andrewcollins2709]

And what a Tony performance to be inspired by!

[@terrenceragin5555]

He was so Deserving. Love Him.

[@dottie471]

I decided to come back and watch some of these videos since Stark and Billy are going back to Kinky boots in the Fall, Billy deserved the Tony and I love that stark was the 1st one who jumped up when Billy's name was called. I know he was also nominated but he said it multiple times that he was pulling for Billy to win. You don't see friends like that very often.

[@MLCL26]

He totally deserved this. And I love how happy Stark was for him

[@gwade111]

Yassssssssss !! That speech was everything well deserved, Billy Porter..👏👏

[@mjay8335]

❤️🥳👏 Billy’s memoir UNPROTECTED talks about this moment on pages 242-244.

[@taralen1101]

Doing stage acting is so difficult and not that many black gay guys do it. So happy for him.

[@iago07]

Get you a costar that stans for you like Stark… This was the moment Billy Porter became a bonafide STAR!!
