How awards speeches are meant to be. humble, acknowledging, and crafted from the best thoughts a person can share. what an artist.

[@Meta13099]

I just want to hug him

[@jordoncarnegie1206]

He's a great hugger

Audrey Hepburn huyyyy re siii!!! ❤

[@Dani_1012]

That's exactly why I came

[@littleme1870]

This was so well deserved. I wish it had been included in the broadcast. Without him, there would be no "Hedwig." He is so creative and his performance in "Hedwig" blew me away. Bravo!!

[@alliecat387]

So sad this wasn't broadcast on TV. So many people watching should have seen it who now likely won't.

[@magnificentfailure2390]

I've been waiting for this to come up on the broadcast. Just realized it won't be.
Way to keep Hedwig an Internationally Ignored Star!

[@roonmirak6652]

Till this day, the person I love and aspire! And also Victor Nikiforov!

[@KatalinaKristina]

I can't *BELIEVE* he's Hedwig!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING ACTOR I have never seen anyone so versatile and it's a complete fucking transformation!

[@elizaw.4768]

I can't think of anyone more deserving of this award, this man has truly changed the face of musical theatre.

Congratulations to John Cameron Mitchell! This is a well deserved award!

[@MxJeseka]

You are seriously one of the most beautiful human beings on the planet. Thank you so much for Hedwig and what it represents. You deserve this and much much more John.

[@borderlandwerun]

It's. About. Time.

[@kalebchavez3279]

I have a feeling he's going be VERY famous and a real Legend after he dies.. the way most artists become legends.. at the moment he's only well known by more of a cult of obsessed fans! 💓

[@lidu6363]

There must be a boost in views after every YoI episode :D

[@user-qi5cn7vn7p]

John Cameron Mitchell is a blessing

[@TheXJill]

Thank you for putting this online, a shame it wasn't on the broadcast. Congrats JCM!

[@Chocokaylarobin]

OH GOODNESS HE EXIST!? HE'S BEAUTIFUL!

[@kalebchavez3279]

I have a feeling he's going be very famous and a real Legend after he dies.. like most legendary Artists are.

[@pblaylock63]

So happy for you old school friend from JC Kansas! This should have been broadcast on live TV! You and your show are AWESOME🙌👏😉👍😊😘💖

[@astri2960]

You're an old school friend of JCM? How lucky are you! I bet he's as nice back then as he is now.

[@BrunaNeptune]

omg! He is adorable! XD

[@astri2960]

I'm up waiting for JCM to come on tonight. And they didn't include it in the broadcast! How special is a Special TONY if they're not going to show it. Anyway, JCM- very well deserved. You could have talked for an hour and a half and I would have listened.
I did it 7x when I watched you on Hedwig :)

[@meganblas954]

Just discovered Hedwig and The Angry Inch last night and it’s one of the best musical movies I’ve ever seen

[@agathad.mariana6959]

[@micafofita]

This is a real,powerful,amazing speech.Congratulations JCM.

[@hanwanting]

In order to watch his acceptance speech immediately, I chose to watch Tony at Time Square this year. I burst into tears when I saw the short video they played before the announcement. His speech is hilarious and sincere, just like himself. Still felt so emotional even now, five months later.

Oh God! This men is so amazing, this men was the inspiration to created Viccan-san! I love this men, I love Viktor pls *-*
