I haven't seen Tina yet but I don't imagine it will get any nominations other than Adrienne and maybe one or two more, but if they want to give Tina anything, it'll be Adrienne's to lose. I agree and it doesn't really deserve any other nominations either to be fair. Apart from Adrienne (who is terrific) it's a pretty rotten show. Rosalie will no doubt win because of the acclaim for 'Company' and she'll benefit from that. She's the weakest link in the cast but she is the lead and the whole gender switch of the show etc will be hard for the awards committee to ignore. The only thing we can hope is that Patti and Jonny B both win in the supporting categories and they won't want to give 3 of the 4 acting awards to the same show seeing as it will win in lots of the non-acting categories too. Fun Home is likely to pack the supporting actress category, although they might split their vote for the award. Come From Away also has plenty of opportunities for supporting nominations too. Bobby/Bobbie is always thought of as a weak role regarding awards but I think that Craig has easily surpassed the men who have played it, even Adrian Lester who made it work in the nineties Donmar revival (and who won the Olivier for it).

Fun Home is likely to pack the supporting actress category, although they might split their vote for the award. I don't know about Fun Home really. It will likely get one nomination for Elenor Kane who deserves a nomination, and there is Jenna Russell who is likely to also get a nomination. But with only four slots, there is no way Patti will not be in there, and then you have whoever gets nominated for Lady Tiang in King and I (due to the Ruthie not playing the role on opening night and only doing half the performances), Abioma from Caroline or Change, and Rachel Tucker and Emma Salvo from Come From Away. There is also an outside chance of Bonnie Langford because she got great reviews for 9 to 5, I have a real feeling she may well get nominated and Jodie Steele and Rebecca Lock for Heathers. I don't doubt Elenor Kane will be nominated, but also considering Fun Home was a limited run in the Summer, I could see Jenna getting bumped out for three other actresses. My guess, at this point, is: Elenor Kane (Fun Home) Bonnie Langford (9 to 5) Patti LuPone (Company) Rachel Tucker (Come From Away)

My guess, at this point, is: Elenor Kane (Fun Home) Bonnie Langford (9 to 5) Patti LuPone (Company) Rachel Tucker (Come From Away) Brooke Haynes/Harriet Turnbull as Small Alison stand a very good chance of a nomination. Tough category, though. For another children’s role I also think that Grace Doherty/Clara Read stand would be there or thereabouts for The Wild Duck.

As much as I loved Fun Home, it's not the type of production like Hamilton was, just getting nominated for everything because of its title. So I don't think three actresses from the same show will be nominated in one year this year, especially with the potential for multiple nominees in Come From Away, Company and Fun Home, as well as singular performances in other shows. The odds are really stacked against you. I suspect the girls and Jenna may get bumped out, or one of them will at least, just because of the other nominees. It's a shame there isn't more male performances to buzz about, as Actor in a Musical doesn't seem that exciting this year compared to the other three catagories.

I'd also happily throw a vote in for Cat Simmons in Come From Away. She just broke my heart and did a really fantastic job.

Anyone know why none of the Pinter at the Pinter plays are eligible?

>>She's the weakest link in the cast but she is the lead
Hmmm, not sure about that, having now seen Rosalie in COMPANY three times (and her understudy once) and savoured RC's performance on multiple levels. This performance really defines the production and propels it forward with a very real if nuanced urgency as well, and its apparent self-effacement is one of the many reasons that a potentially remote show newly delivers as an emotional knockout. Rosalie will face tough competition from Sharon D Clarke, Kelli O'Hara and Adrienne Warren but I have a feeling she will nonetheless prevail.

Well, after the somewhat predictable WOS Awards fiasco, I can't wait for the serious, real awards, where I hope Company gets Best Revival and Heathers gets ignored.

I don't think they're wildly different to be honest. There were several wins for 'Hamilton' as there were at the Oliviers (including two of the acting categories), Marianne Elliott won as I would imagine she would at the Oliviers, Patti could win at both, Sophie Okonedo has won awards already for 'Carry on Cleo' and will no doubt be nominated at the Oliviers, it's not beyond the realms of possibility to see Vanessa Redgrave and 'The Inheritance' in there. We can always find odd awards to look down on the WOS awards for but we can do the same for the Oliviers too. The Oliviers are littered with just as many howlers as the WOS awards.

Oh @ryan, you'll be the first out there protesting if Patti doesn't get her long awaited Olivier's comeback. 😂

The Oliviers are really no more or less serious or real than the WOS awards though. Agreed I shouldn't have said real, got carried away, but I do think they are more serious in a way since professionals do the voting. I'm sure a good percentage of the superfans who voted for Heathers for example, don't see many shows. They just love Heathers and vote for it no matter what category it's up for. I mean, it was nominated for Best Set!

I think the same could be said for the fans who voted for 'Hamilton' too though and 'Harry Potter' a couple of years ago etc etc. And for those who voted for it to win Best Set, perhaps they got confused with voting for the lead actor, who gave quite possibly one of the most wooden performances I think I'd seen on London's glitzy West End for a long time?

Oh, of course! Every show has its superfans. I just mentioned Heathers cause it's the one that won.

Nominations today at 1pm.
I think it's quite an interesting year to see who's up. There's some quite congested categories where you don't know who'll make it, then others where you wonder who they can find to even fill them.

Come From Away dominates! Lots of love for Six and Company too.
Nothing at all for 9 to 5, Heathers, Only Fools and Horses, Strictly Ballroom, and most surprisingly - Hadestown!

I'm pretty happy with the nominations, although also surprised that there was nothing for Hadestown. Very happy to see a lot of nominations for SiX and Come From Away! There is one glaring omission though and that's Paul Hilton for Supporting Actor. He definitely deserves to be in there - more so than Redgrave deserves to be in Supporting Actress.

Redgrave gave the weakest performance in The Inheritance and Burnap was spectacular- charismatic, moving, funny. Go figure.

If Kyle Soller does not win here against that bunch then there's no hope for the world.

Jamie Muscato was robbed, but then he was always going to get dismissed because of the show. Just a bit sad, because in my opinion he was the one part of Heathers that truly did deserve to be rewarded

Unpopular opinion, but Six getting nominations instead of Hadestown is the biggest joke of the decade.

Has anyone paged @emicardiff about Susan Brown? Or is she already organising her campaign...
