In addition to the winners of Tony Awards who have been involved in Muppet/Henson projects, others have been nominated, even Muppet performers. Because the total list of nominees is longer (and often includes the same names over the years), this list is limited to relevant puppeteers, Sesame Street cast and other on-camera regulars or recurring performers as characters, main human co-stars in Muppet movies, and creative crew.
