Wondering who will receive the Special Award/Special Recognition (is there a difference?) next year…perhaps Sir Mark Rylance…

Doesn't appear so, it's not on the SOLT list of venues or affiliates. Last year Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol which was on at South Bank Centre was eligible. Maybe it's year on year or show specific? |

Old Friends will win the Entertainment and Family category (or whatever it's called these days) I don't see any acting noms for Old Friends. I'd imagine Sunset will get all of those nominations, and definitely some design stuff too |

Nice list. I think that best actor will go to Mark Gatiss. And best director, R Goold. Just my thoughts. The Olivier often doesn’t award the actual best……

I really hope that Operation Mincemeat doesn’t win best new musical. I fear it has more steam behind it than any of the others.

It's a tough one, but I think the politics will help "Dear England" triumph. It's more recent, and will be stuck in the voters' minds. It'll be boosted in popularity by its imminent NT Live stream, handily placed close to voting. If rumours are true, its Broadway transfer is also imminent, whereas rumours for "A Little Life" on Broadway seem to have fizzled out (transfer news often makes the difference at the Oliviers.) It's a celebration of Britain, and therefore might get votes for being a state-of-the-nation play. DE seemed to get much better reviews than ALL. And it would be a representative reward for the phenomenal year the NT has had.
But it really could go any way in the Best New Play category. Sonia Friedman is attached to "Stranger Things," and voters may be swayed by its Netflix nametag. "The Motive and the Cue" has been very well received on its West End transfer, and also has Broadway in its sights. After Best Actor, it's definitely the hardest category to predict.

The Olivier often doesn’t award the actual best…… Great list but not in agreement with the Best Musical noms. I don't think nominators will forget A STRANGE LOOP and nearly every other show blows LITTLE BIG THINGS out of the water, especially NEXT TO NORMAL (but maybe not OPERATION MINCEMEAT which wears out its welcome after 20 mins). Then again, they rewarded pretentious tripe like STANDING AT THE SKY'S EDGE last year over the stellar A BAND'S VISIT so anything is possible. In truth, ever since they gave the Best Musical prize to RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET over MISS SAIGON and to SUNNY AFTERNOON over HERE LIES LOVE I have found the Oliviers laughable, second only to the juvenile-driven WhatsOnstage Awards. |
