Some good predictions there and I really hope Sheridan and Charlie do win as its so well deserved. However Oliviers I find tend to go to the more "arty" and obscure things rather than popular choices so I fear they will miss out.
The Oliviers, to me anyway, come over as a bit elitist as if that are saying look how clever and sophisticated we and the theatre world are.
Hope I'm proved wrong.

I still find it a shame that Guys and Dolls isn't going to be eligible as it really is an amazing production.
But also from what I hear about Sunset Boulevard it sounds like that could possibly have been the better revival if they were up against each other.

Mark Gatiss all day long (decent enough acting, as well).
Wouldn't win, though maybe acknowledge Australian Eryn Jean Norvill for The Confessions (NT).

Been thinking about this, and if we're saying 15 new musicals are eligible for the Olivier, I'd be hard pressed to nominate 4 of them tbh

The BAFTAs do have 5-6 nominees these days (then there’s the 10 nominees for Outstanding British Film)…I’m fine with this rather than a poor p*ss 3-4 nominees…I really hope the Oliviers will start giving out a Best Casting in a Musical and Best Casting in a Play category (the casting director is the recipient/nominee). They should have listened to the heeds of the fans and audiences begging for these categories to be created.

With the reviews that she got, I think Sarah Snook is the favorite to Win Actress right now.
I would say Andrew Scott too but he has a fierce competition from James.

Final predictions, with some interesting changes based on new openings! Use as basis for discussion/argument/vehement disagreement...
Best New Play
WINNER: Dear England at National Theatre - Olivier / Prince Edward
The Motive and the Cue at National Theatre - Lyttelton / Noel Coward
Stranger Things: The First Shadow at Phoenix Theatre
The Hills of California at Harold Pinter Theatre
Still think Dear England will win. I know, I know... no "A Little Life." No "Picture of Dorian Gray" too. But I can't see a new Butterworth, produced by Sonia Friedman, not getting in. Same with "Stranger Things."
Best Play Revival
WINNER: Vanya at Duke of York's
Medea at @sohoplace
The Effect at National Theatre - Lyttelton
Macbeth at Donmar Warehouse
Weakest category this year. Vanya could quite easily win, given the recent NT Live and the stellar central performance.
Best New Musical
WINNER: Operation Mincemeat at Fortune Theatre
Next to Normal at Donmar Warehouse
The Witches at National Theatre - Olivier
The Little Big Things at @sohoplace
It's probably an easy win for "Operation Mincemeat" now. "Two Strangers," "Just for One Day," "A Strange Loop" and "Hadestown" all have a chance, but I can't see which one of the above four would be cut.
Best Musical Revival
WINNER: Sunset Boulevard at Savoy Theatre
Crazy for You at Gillian Lynne Theatre
La Cage Aux Folles at Regents Park Open Air
Guys and Dolls at the Bridge Theatre
(If no G&D: 42nd Street? Wizard of Oz? Could be anything.)
WhatsOnStage seems to think "Guys and Dolls" will be nominated... so I'm putting it in. "Sunset" still takes it.
Best Actress
WINNER: Sarah Snook for The Picture of Dorian Gray at Theatre Royal Haymarket
Sheridan Smith for Shirely Valentine at Duke of York's Theatre
Tuppence Middleton for The Motive and the Cue at National Theatre - Lyttelton
Laura Donnelly for The Hills of California at Harold Pinter Theatre
Cush Jumbo for Macbeth at Donmar Warehouse
Snook seems a clear winner here - Sheridan Smith was too long ago, and Snook is glitzier. They'll love the Succession of it all.
Best Actor
WINNER: Andrew Scott for Vanya at Duke of York’s
James Norton for A Little Life at Harold Pinter
Mark Gatiss for The Motive and the Cue at National Theatre - Lyttelton / Noel Coward
Joseph Fiennes for Dear England at National Theatre - Olivier / Prince Edward
David Tennant for Macbeth at Donmar Warehouse
It's between Scott, Norton and Fiennes, and it'll be very, very close. Think the NT Live of Vanya (and success of All of Us Strangers) will help Scott.
Best Actress in a Musical
WINNER: Nicole Scherzinger for Sunset Boulevard at Savoy Theatre
Cassie Levy for Next to Normal at Donmar Warehouse
Marisha Wallace for Guys and Dolls at the Bridge Theatre
Katherine Kingsley for The Witches at National Theatre - Olivier
(If no G&D: Dujonna Gift for Two Strangers?)
Scherzy for the win. Think Kingsley will come with the NT Gold Rush.
Best Actor in a Musical
WINNER: Daniel Mays for Guys and Dolls at the Bridge Theatre
Ed Larkin for Little Big Things at @sohoplace
Kyle Ramar Freeman for A Strange Loop at Barbican Theatre
Charlie Stemp for Crazy for You at Gillian Lynne Theatre
(If no G&D: Sam Tutty for Two Strangers?)
Mays may well be the only win for G&D if it gets in, so that'd be good.
Best Director
WINNER: Jamie Lloyd for Sunset Boulevard at Savoy Theatre
Sam Mendes for The Motive and the Cue at National Theatre - Lyttelton / Noel Coward OR The Hills of California at Harold Pinter Theatre
Rupert Goold for Dear England at National Theatre - Olivier / Prince Edward
Nicholas Hytner for Guys and Dolls at the Bridge Theatre
Stephen Daldry for Stranger Things at Phoenix Theatre
It's Lloyd's year, much like it was Frecknall's for Cabaret. This will serve as recognition of Sunset as well as The Effect.

I feel like it’s been a VERY good year for musicals in particular.
Rooting for Operation Mincemeat and Two Strangers (if eligible) - it would just be brilliant. I am expecting The Big Little Things to be on there (Sophie for Medea - good year potentially for @sohoplace) + a few nominations for Sunset Boulevard.
I’m expecting Clyde’s and Next to Normal on there especially a few acting moms.
The Witches had brilliant costumes for ensemble / wigs etc
I wonder if Bridge will be eligible too… and if Marisha gets a nomination (second year in a row) would she be informed in CBB?!
I’m awaiting with baited breath…!
