Haha! If anyone ever wanted proof that the Oliviers have no credibility whatsoever and shouldn't ever be taken seriously, this year is it. Ridic.

Ok, I'm sorry, but now I'm even more inclined to call this a popularity contest. I actually really enjoyed Jamie Parker's performance in Harry Potter, and totally think he deserved his nomination spot. But the fact that he won is utterly ridiculous. Personally, I think every single other actor in that category gave a far more memorable performance than he did. I could MAYBE accept that he beat Tom Hollander, but McKellen and Harris were far, far better than Parker, in my opinion.

Harry Potter is effectively the panto equivalent of a play I didn't have that much against it It is okay But those I took were not particularly impressed and found it overlong repetitive and tedious It can and will also be recast ad Infinitum So ones wonders if the updated cast will be nominated every year

I don't think it was anything amazing Nothing life changing Found the Hilary Mantel plays more exciting and better acted HP is for simpletons

Alice Arnold and Ruthie Henshall are horrible in the radio broadcast, what's the matter with them? Is Ruthie so bitter just because she can't sing anymore?

Which just goes to show how subjective it all is - I loved Parker's performance, but I think if anyone may have edged it for the award, it was Hollander!

Haven't read the thread back so sorry if this has already been discussed, but Alice and Ruthie on the Magic Radio broadcast are driving me nuts...why do they sound so bitter?!
Also...they seem shocked that Harry Potter isn't a musical...because it's got music in it? Are they actually being serious?
*face palm*

What I find most amazing
Is that
The books were hardly praised from a literary aspect
And the films were ignored as far as any major meaningful awards go
Isn't it then interesting
That a stage adaption should be garlanded with awards
Says plenty about the theatre

Oh well Harry Potter has basically hovered up all the awards it can so far, which was predictable, this will be in all the news in which Sonia Friedman just happens to open the next booking period.
