Scarlett Johansson has scooped a Tony award for her Broadway debut.
The Lost in Translation star won best featured performance as an actress for her portrayal of a young woman who becomes the object of her uncle’s desires in a revival of Arthur Miller’s A View From A Bridge.
Accepting the award at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, Johansson, 25, said: “Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be on Broadway and here I am. Being welcomed in this community has been an absolute dream come true.”
Catherine Zeta-Jones took the award for best actress in a musical for her Broadway debut in A Little Night Music.
And Denzel Washington won best actor in a play for his role in a revival of Fences, by August Wilson.
In his acceptance speech he said: “My mother always says, ‘Man gives the award, God gives the reward.’ I guess I got both tonight.”
Viola Davis won best actress for her role opposite Washington in Fences, which was also named best play revival.
Glee cast members Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison, Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith, Katie Holmes and Daniel Radcliffe, all turned out for the ceremony, which was hosted by Sean Hayes

Cheeky Gwyneth Paltrow says Robert Downey Jr “loves” being in a love triangle with her and Scarlett Johansson in the new Iron Man film.
As in the original hit film, Paltrow plays Pepper Potts, the secretary – and possible love interest – of Downey’s character Tony Stark.
But this time she has been joined by Johansson, who plays the sexy baddy Black Widow – who would like nothing better than to lure him into her web.
On the set of the sequel, Downey played down reports of the triangle, joking: “Like I would ever have Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson fighting over me?”
Adding that his producer wife is in charge, he said: “All I know is that Susan Downey gets to watch it all on the monitors.”
But with a naughty grin, Paltrow told Entertainment Tonight: “He loves it! Oh my God, it’s his favourite thing when both Scarlett and I are on the set. It’s his favourite day.”
Iron Man 2, which also stars Mickey Rourke and Don Cheadle, is set for US release in May.

Scarlett Johansson said,
This USO tour to the Gulf region truly means a lot. I’ve wanted to go over and visit for some time, and now my moment has arrived.
It’s one thing to reply to a letter or extend your thanks to service members in a speech, but it’s another thing to visit them and spend time with those that do so much for us back home.
I am glad to see she is not letting her hotness go to waste. All those guys are in need of a pretty lady to look at! I haven’t really read much of Scarjo recently, I wonder how she has been keeping below the radar. For awhile there there was pictures of her on every blog, now I hardly read a peep. I guess it is just too hard to compete with train wrecks like Britney Spears, and Amy Winehouse.
