Best Actress (Supporting) - Denise Cough - Angels In America Is this a nickname I haven't heard, or just a typo? It made me laugh, either way. hahaha just a typo...but let's start that nickname for no good reason |

None of the Hamilton actors deserve to win when you compare their roles with others they are up against. In your opinion. Personally I think Giles Terera does deserve it even based on your comparison of performances. The wrong people were nominated in the Supporting Actor but I think Rachel John is deserving in the Supporting Actress category (especially having seen her give an even stronger performance this week than she did when I saw her back in December), though that category is difficult to call and I expect she won't win. Well yeah, obviously I’m my opinion. Tracie Bennett deserves to win for her rendition of Im Still Here alone. |

I'd like Jamie to get something. I don't mind Hamilton dominating but i still have major issues with their nominations in Supporting Actor because the guy who played Washington should clearly have been there over both Cleve and Mike.
I can't comment on who should win now because i didn't see Giles and the other two Hamilton guys, for me, have too small a role to even be there.

I'm not very excited about these awards this year to be truthful. I wasn't last year either. I guess because both these past two years we kinda knew who was gonna win, it takes the fun out of it. I really hope we get some surprises just to make this event more exciting than it may be. I'm excited to see Hamilton, 42nd Street and Tracie perform though!

On the train to London now - have had to travel all the way in black tie so got some interesting looks!
But am really looking forward to the ceremony - even if it does all go to Hamilton (which I genuinely don’t see) we’ve got some brilliant performances to see!

Best New Musical - Hamilton
Best New Play - Oslo

Best Actress - Imelda Staunton - Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Best Actor - Bryan Cranston - Network
Best Actress (Supporting) - Imogen Poots - Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Best Actor (Supporting) - Peter Polycarpou - Oslo
Best Revival - Angels in America
Best Actress in a Musical - Janie Dee - Follies
Best Actor in a Musical - Jamael Westman - Hamilton

Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical - Michael Jibson - Hamilton
Best Theatre Choreographer - Christopher Wheeldon - An American In Paris

Best Lighting Design - Jan Versweyveld - Network
Who I think will actually win: some of those. But only some.

On the bus to the Tube and getting some similarly strange looks! See you soon! |

I'd forgotten that wearing heels on the Tube is a stupid idea, especially in the rain! So many stairs... Hope the red carpet coverage is good - the weather is awful, raining a lot at the minute, the carpet will be soggy! |

I’m on my way too - first time and very excited!
Have seen that Lin-Manuel Miranda currently has shingles, so I presume he won’t be there to accept any of the awards which is a shame!

I'm following the Oliviers & the Bahrain Grand Prix simultaneously: in both cases I'm hoping Hamilton won't win!

I would like to see Sheila Atim win but, as the Oliviers get more like the Tonys, I fear she will suffer from her show having closed.
I expect Brian Cranston to win Best Actor as he's the only one I didn't see! Likewise Oslo for Best Play.
The only one that will really exercise me is if Labour of Love doesn't win Best Comedy as I really loved that.

I love Hamilton but I think this is a strong year for homegrown productions and it would be a shame if Hamilton were to dominate over them.

SO pleased for Gary Owen and the win for Killology. I'm not one to bang a drum because it's someone local, but he really is a phenomenal talent- and a genuinely nice man.

I thought Follies was overrated. It was good but I got a little bored and have seen better. The 42nd Street set deserved a nomination over this. I’d like to see Rachel win becuaee she’s worked for ages now and finally people are recognising her..her social media following has grown so much since she joined Hamilton. Sheila is so sweet too though and a brand new newcomer. Tracie could win though as, like people said, she is an Olivier favourite. Shame as she’s already won one and I thought Rachel was better Wi thought the same for 42nd Street, thought it was over produced. |

And there are some appallingly lazy spelling mistakes in the marquee signs in the big number in the penultimate scene (Katherine Hepburn, Katherine Cornell, Rapsody, Apollo TheatRE rather than TheatER, and I think there are at least a couple more). That kind of sloppiness certainly doesn't deserve a nomination. |

She's also swearing despite the fact that she's going out live on radio. Can she not read the autocue?

If the presenters on Magic know who is going to win then they have definitely just given away who wins Best Musical
