Scarlett Johansson Says She Earned Tony Award

Scarlett Johansson is firing back at critics who argue acting with your cleavage shouldn’t earn you a Tony Award. Some are saying that Jonansson deserves no awards of any kind until she eats a sammich and gains back her curves.

Scarlett Johansson is firing back at critics who argue the actress is undeserving of a Tony Award for her role in Broadway’s A View From the Bridge. The 25-year-old actress’ win prompted fellow Broadway star Hunter Foster to start a Facebook campaign, “Give The Tonys Back To Broadway.” Foster believes Johansson’s Hollywood status was the main reason behind her victory earlier this month, preventing Broadway veterans from taking home a trophy. “I pounded the pavement for years and I know what it’s like to struggle as an actor. A lot of it is luck and, certainly, a lot of it is opportunity and the lack of that,” Johansson told Broadway World. “So, I totally understand the frustration there.” [Us]
