Prediction: Best New Musical - Frozen Best Revival - Jerusalem Best Musical Revival - Anything Goes Best Actress - Sutton Best Supporting Actress - Stephanie Mckeon Best Lighting Design - Neil Austin Best Set - Christopher Oram Best Sound - Gareth Owen Backstage To The Future for set instead. Frozen may be beautiful looking but that car in BTTF is something else. Not sure you can win a best design award for a car. And hello- moulin Rouge. Frozen ain’t winning any design awards. Moulin will win them all.

It will be a share out between Moulin Rouge and Anything Goes.

Do we have any front runners for the lead acting awards in plays?

Geoffrey Streatfield is brilliant in Blithe, deserves best supporting actor.

I agree with Patsy Ferran, but I hope Lisa Dwan and Rosie Sheehy are nominated too.

After seeing the first performance of a Normal Heart, Then Ben Daniels who only leaves the stage for the interval would be a good shout for best actor and Liz Carr certainly a strong contender for best supporting.

I wish the Oliviers would pick a venue other than the RAH.

Can someone confirm whether the Oliviers are only for London based shows, not touring or regional productions?

What do you think the future holds? I hope they do six nominees per category (like with the WOS Awards this year) and perhaps make the eligibility flexible given the situation of postponed performances.

I think it's time for an awards that are for touring and regional theatre, I know a few awards do encompass them such as the WOS Awards and UK Theatre Awards but they seem a bit limited. What we need I think is an awards on the same scale as the oliviers specifically for regional and touring shows, that includes all the technical and creative awards as well. It's a shame that the great work we see on regional stages isn't really rewarded in the same way as London shows are.

Is there no-one more 'highbrow' available to host? I get Manford has the household appeal for the huns and mums ratings but the few I've seen him host he appears a bit out of place, lost and the jokes never really seem to land.

I dunno if we should start doing predictions…
Best Actress in a Musical - three-way race between Sutton, Jessie, and CHF?
Best Play Revival - looks like it’s gonna be the battle between the subsidised theatres - Almeida (The Tragedy of Macbeth) vs NT (The Normal Heart) vs Old Vic (A Number)
I also hope they nominate at least SIX nominees per category; similar to the BAFTAs (Film and TV)
Where to transfers get nominated, and do they still get nominated? Such as Cyrano (which is now at Harold Pinter) and The Ocean at the End of the Lane (now at Duke of York’s). Both were nominated in the past season. Are they still considered eligible?
Can plays/musicals which are near the eligibility deadline be able to make it to the cut-off? Or does a production have to have its press night before they are considered for the awards?

I think any other year and Sutton would have won, but Jessie will have too much steam behind her after those reviews

Productions need to have opened by the cut off to be considered.

It really is getting beyond a joke now. He's becoming James Corden levels of ubiquitous.

It's a shame that the great work we see on regional stages isn't really rewarded in the same way as London shows are. Agreed. I remember having a conversation about it (on here?) a few years ago, and quite a lot of people were against it, but I don't recall any really good arguments. Just some London-centric excuses about the difficulty of judging things not in London and the assumption that regional productions should be assumed to be lesser than their West End equivalents. I accept that there's a lot more variability in quality in regional tours, but all the more reason to reward those companies that do put the effort into taking quality theatre to the rest of the country. And some touring casts are genuinely excellent. If I remember correctly, the discussion last time was simply to have an extra couple of categories for best regional/touring musical and regional/touring play, but perhaps a whole separate set of awards would give them the attention (some of them) deserve. There could be categories according to the size of theatre too, to give smaller productions that visit smaller towns a chance to shine too.

It really is getting beyond a joke now. He's becoming James Corden levels of ubiquitous. Careful what you wish for...next time it will be Rylan! To be fair to Jason, I've been to the awards when Michael Ball, Catherine Tate and Jason have hosted and Jason was hands down the best host and safest pair of hands, he didn't need a single retake of anything! But I do agree, it would be good to shake it up a bit :-)

As a starters it would be nice if they just split the creatives between plays/musicals.

I'd imagine Sutton will be nominated, but hard to see them not giving best actress sin a musical to Jessie, especially with all her film and film award buzz this year too. Good year for her.
What other shows are in the mix? Do we have a list?
