Some thoughts: - They really like celebrities, don't they? Did Kenneth Branagh, Ralph Fiennes and Dominc Cooper really deserve a nod?
- Michael Xavier for best performance in a musical? Really?? I know he doesn't have a chance to win, but still... I thought he was the quintessence of averageness in Sunset Boulevard
- YEAH JENNA RUSSELL!
- Very glad they remembered The Flick in the new play category
- I'm so happy for Jaygann Ayeh and Anthony Boyle for their nominations in the emerging talents category

Is it these awards that we suspect often get awarded to cough 'the most famous person who'll turn up on the night'?

Does anyone else think Yerma should be a new play and not a revival?

It's all about O-T Fagbenle and Gemma Arterton for me. That Best Actress list in particular is one of the dullest lists around.
And seriously, I know people loved her but if Sheridan Smith wins against that group of musical actors, there really is no God.

It bothers me that Funny Girl and Guys and Dolls were nominated for Best Musical production over Show Boat. Though glad Gina Beck and Rebecca Trehearn have been recognised.
Isn't this Award Ceremony hosted by the Standard's billionaire owner?

Wow, thats some Best Musical Performance catagory!  What a line up of talent! My initial thought was Glenn just because she is the most famous and the role is a deserving one. But then both the Show Boat women where phenomenal, Sheridan is stunning and Andy was brilliant! I think if Rebecca's role was a bit bigger, she would win this kind of catagory hands down, but because it is not, I give the edge to Sheridan or Andy personally. |

Though McArdle would be an acceptable second choice for me, as long as they don't wuss out and go for a famous.

Calling it now, they're going to go for Ken, Glenn 'n' Bill.
At least I can get behind a Billie victory, and the infamy of Anthony Boyle's show should see him in with an excellent chance.

Billie really does deserve it. Kenneth not so much.

Are we supposed to take these awards seriously? Ken over Simon McBurney?

Though McArdle would be an acceptable second choice for me, as long as they don't wuss out and go for a famous. He won't be eligible for the Oliviers because each Young Chekhov play had far too few performances. So it seems a bit underhand that he's eligible for the Stans. |

Wow, Glenn vs Sheridan vs Andy... I am so happy Andy has made that final list!  That being said, I think it is clearly going to be Glenn or Sheridan who wins if it is more fame than anything. But all were fantastic. |

Being an old cynic I believe the Standard will give the award to whoever confirms they will be there at the ceremony. You can't have a double page spread with pictures of absent people.

Rooting for James McArdle even though he has 0 chance to win... So unfair that it is not measured by talent though.

And how many performances are enough to be eligible? Can he be nominated for both/combined Platonov and Ivanov?

Actually, does it matter for the ES Awards? I know it's a 30 performance minimum for the Oliviers, but don't the Evening Standard just do what they want and the devil take your logic?
