Actors Leslie Odom Jr, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Daveed Diggs and Cynthia Erivo won the top musical prizes on Sunday night in a ceremony that celebrated diversity.

Odom Jr was named Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for his performance in the show, while Diggs won Best Actor in a Featured Role.

Goldsberry won the award for Best Actress in a Featured Role and Erivo won the Lead Actress prize for her performance in The Color Purple.

The wins mark a historic moment for the awards, in a year that saw the Academy Awards tainted by the #OscarsSoWhite debate.
