Nominee Reactions: Jeremy Shamos for CLYBOURNE PARK 'Fart Hug'by BWW - May 1, 2012Jeremy Shamos Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play for Clybourne Park
"I'd like to say I was so cool this morning and that I slept through the nominations but that's definitely not true. I woke up at 7 with kids and made them turn off their cartoons so I could watch the broadcast, which they thought was boring. The we heard my name called and we started jumping around and had a group hug, which included a whoopi cushion my daughter snuck in the middle so it turned into a fart hug. it still all feels a bit surreal and I'm still processing I guess, so much so that when I dropped my kids off at school a teacher pointed out that my shirt was Inside Out. But this is all very exciting and I'm just happy that the show got the nominations that it did. Mine is just icing on the cake."
