Pauletta Washington Stands Strong: A Fierce Reaction to Denzel's Tony Snub for 'Othello'

After Denzel Washington's Broadway performance in “Othello” was overlooked for a Tony nomination, his wife Pauletta expressed disappointment. The revival, showcasing Shakespeare’s tragic tale, debuted at Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Despite breaking box office records, criticism arose over steep ticket prices. Pauletta candidly remarked about ongoing industry biases and the narrow-mindedness in award decisions. Other cast members, like Jake Gyllenhaal, also drew mixed reviews regarding their performances. The 78th Tony Awards, set for June 8, will highlight notable nominees while leaving “Othello” conspicuously absent.
