Broadway costume designer discuss historic Oscar win
By Spectrum News Staff New York City
Paul Tazewell made history at the 97th Academy Awards when he won Best Costume Design for his work on “Wicked.”
Already celebrated for his Tony-winning designs on “Hamilton,” Tazewell reflected on his latest accomplishment in his Oscars acceptance speech, saying, “I’m the first Black man to receive the costume design award.”
But before making his way to the stage, Spectrum News viewers may have recognized a familiar face by his side—Spectrum News+ national anchor Sharon Tazewell, whose late husband was Paul’s brother. She joined him throughout Oscars week.
To discuss the historic moment and Tazewell’s continued work on and off Broadway, the two joined “Mornings On 1” Wednesday.
