“Red,” the anguished two-man drama about painter Mark Rothko and the timeless tug of war between art and commerce, was a big winner Sunday at the 2010 Tony Awards, receiving the best play prize and five other honors. The play picked up Tonys for playwright John Logan, director Michael Grandage and Eddie Redmayne, for featured performance by an actor in a play. “Memphis,” the rhythm ‘n' blues musical set in the American South in the 1950s, won four Tonys, including best musical. It was also cited for best orchestration, original score and best book of a musical. Three Hollywood stars, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Denzel Washington and Scarlett Johansson, were first-time nominees and winners. “Fences,” a revival of August Wilson's deeply personal drama about family, won for best revival of a play and its two stars, Washington and Viola Davis, won for best actors in a play. Zeta-Jones won for best actress in a musical as the amorous actress in the revival of “A Little Night Music.” Johansson won for best featured performance as an actress in a play for her Broadway debut, the object of her uncle's lust in Arthur Miller's “A View From a Bridge.”
