Dopo aver vinto un Golden Globe, un SAG, un Emmy, tre Critics’ Choice Awards e due Satellite Awards, Sarah Paulson è stata per la prima volta candidata ai Tony Awards, premi Oscar del teatro, in qualità di miglior attrice protagonista in un’opera teatrale per Appropriate. Nella pièce Paulson interpreta Antoinette, la sorella maggiore della disfunzionale famiglia Lafayette, che si trova nel mezzo di una battaglia per l’eredità in seguito alla morte del padre.
La conquista della candidatura ha fortemente emozionato l’attrice, musa di Ryan Murphy, che l’ha definita il “dono più grande” nonché la “cosa più significativa” accaduta fino ad oggi nella sua carriera, pur avendo vinto diversi premi importanti.
“Ho avuto dei riconoscimenti davvero speciali nella mia carriera: sono stata incredibilmente fortunata. Ma ho sognato tutto questo fin da quando ero bambina, una ragazzina che camminava per New York tenendo la mano di mia madre single di 27 anni e quella della mia dolce sorellina, guardando i tendoni di Broadway e sognando. Guardare i Tony Awards, desiderare, sognare, sperare, pregare. E ora eccolo qui. Un sogno realizzato. Il lavoro più duro che abbia mai fatto. Molto fortificante. Il regalo più grande.”
Parole grondanti riconoscimento a cui ha risposto con amore Holland Taylor, dal 2015 compagna di Sarah Paulson.
Holland Taylor, ha condiviso la notizia sulla sua pagina Instagram insieme alla commovente didascalia: “Post permanente. Sei così degna di tutte le cose buone. E di tutto il mio amore”.
E Paulson ha risposto: “Ti amo completamente”.
Sarah Paulson non sarà l’unica attrice dichiaratamente LGBTQ+ a puntare i Tony Awards il prossimo 16 giugno. Tra i candidati ci sono anche Jonathan Groff per il suo ruolo nel musical Merrily We Roll Along, e Jim Parsons di The Big Bang Theory per Mother Play.
