Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda accepts Tony for Best Original Score

"Hate will never win," host James Corden said at the opening of this year's Tony Awards at the Beacon Theater in New York City. "Theater is a place where every race, creed, sexuality and gender is equal, is embraced and is loved." Those attending the ceremony, which was dedicated to the victims of the Orlando mass shooting, wore silver ribbons in solidarity.

Upon winning for Best Original Score, Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda performed a sonnet he wrote as tribute to his wife and victims of Orlando.

Hamilton won 11 of its record-breaking 16 Tony Award nominations, just one Tony win short of 2001's The Producers. See all the results below:
