Oliver Award!

The Oliver Award, which goes hand in hand with the Tony Award.

In the industry, the two awards are tied for the highest awards for theatre, and although the Tony Awards are more powerful and well-known for their commercial promotion and advertising operations to the general public, the fact is that the Olivier Awards, presented by the London Drama Society, have been slightly more authoritative among industry insiders since their inception in 1976.

The reason is very simple, whether it is the Olivier Award or the Tony Award, the public relations strategy is almost non-existent, it still retains the purity and authority of the award, the conservative "behind the times", away from the public eye, and also maintains absolute professionalism, while compared with the United States, the British theater circle still retains the fine tradition and heritage, and the commercial penetration still does not destroy the origin of artistic creation.

This also gives the Oliver Award a transcendent status!

It is no exaggeration to say that in the UK, an Oliver Award is the most crucial recognition of actors, even more than all other awards, and Judi Dench's status in the British entertainment industry is transcendent, as can be seen from her Olivier Award nominations and awards - as of 2017, she has been nominated for 15 nominations and won 8 awards, all of which are the most in history.

For the general public, people may only know about the Oscars or the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, and they can never really understand the status and fame of those old actors, but after carefully browsing the list of Olivier Award nominees every year, deep down they can start to pair them one by one.

In 1984, with the consent of Sir Lawrence Oliver, the London Drama Society renamed the award the Laurence Oliver Award to honour the greatest Shakespeare actor in British history, and to pass on this spirit.

Undoubtedly, this is also an extraordinary weight for any actor's affirmation.

This year, the nominations for the annual Olivier Awards have been announced.

This time, the Olivier Awards, which have always had a tepid level of publicity and attention, attracted all the attention of the West End and Broadway, even the amateur audience who didn't have much interest in theater.

What's more, this year's Oliver Awards will be broadcast live on BBC television for the first time in a decade, which will also be an attempt to keep up with the times – something that is long overdue and talked about compared to the major awards shows in the United States. Naturally, this has also attracted more attention to the Olivier Awards.

After the nominees were announced, the Olivier Awards lived up to expectations and detonated all the attention of the theater field!

"Les Miserables" has taken the lead, and the rehearsal of classic plays that have swept the world in the past year has led the entire list of nominees, and with 11 nominations, it has set a record for the most nominations in the history of the Olivier Awards, continuing its strong momentum in one go.

Best Rehearsal Musical, Best Actor in a Musical, Best Supporting Actor, Two Best Supporting Actresses, Best Director, Best Stage Director, Best Stage Design, Best Costume Design, Best Lighting Effects, Best Audience Choice, and more.

A total of 11 nominations have broken the record for the number of nominations, just like the "Titanic" that swept the Oscar nominations that year, showing a strong dominance brilliantly, and undoubtedly becoming the most valuable and discussed experimental play in the past year.

From the cast to the behind-the-scenes production, from the script writing to the stage choreography, from the professionals to the audience selection, "Les Miserables" has fully detonated the word-of-mouth frenzy, and has become the biggest highlight of this year's Olivier Awards, and it is even conceivable that this work will be worth more expectations in the near future.

Tom Holland, who played Angela, was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, while Ezra Miller, who played Shavoy, unfortunately did not make the cut, while Michelle Dockery, who played Madame de Nardière, and Charlotte Kennedy, who played Cosette, were both nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and there will be fierce competition.

In the cast department, "Les Miserables" led the way, and it can be seen that the production has been recognized and supported in all aspects, and the solid performances of the young actors have been nominated, which not only further inspires the Almeida Theater to continue rehearsing with a new line-up, but also further encourages the entire West End to discover more new productions.

It is conceivable that more and more bold and innovative plays will be staged, and more and more young professional actors will emerge, forming an effective virtuous circle that will have an indispensable and significant impetus for the future development of the theater industry. But how could anyone have expected such a situation when John Cord tried to recreate "Les Miserables"?

This year, the competition for rehearsal musicals is no small feat.

In the list of nominees for the best rehearsal musical, "Les Miserables" will compete with "Sweeney Todd", "Cabaret Online", "Cabaret" and other works, each of which is a once-famous classic, and after the rehearsal, it has once again achieved great success and successfully received nominations.

"Cabaret" is undoubtedly the most famous work - above the 45th Oscars, the film adapted from the original musical, and the "Godfather" launched a fierce battle with bayonets, and in the end, the best picture was defeated, the best director won, and the total number of statuettes also won, which really went down in history. This time, the "Song Hall" will be the 29th rehearsal of different countries and regions in the long history.

In other words, even for the 29th rehearsal, the quality is still excellent!

In addition, there is also a lot of relationship between "Barber Todd" and Lan Li, the movie version is in the production stage, Lan Li is one of the important candidates for the protagonist, after regretting missing it, but reunited in the way of opponents on the drama stage, and now it is a head-to-head showdown, it seems that the two are destined to have an inseparable fate.

This is the seventeenth adaptation and rehearsal in history, and has been nominated for and awarded for Tony and Olivier Awards many times, and it is undoubtedly a work worth remembering on the stage.

Strong opponents and fierce competition are further proof of the good and outstanding of "Les Miserables"!

Despite leading the way in terms of the number of nominations, competition and competition for awards are not to be underestimated, and Les Misérables is far from resting, with the new drama "The Mystery of the Midnight Puppy" followed with eight nominations, while "The High Hat" and "Todd the Barber" received seven and six nominations, respectively, and they are both formidable rivals.

However, "Mystery of the Dog in the Night" is a new play, "The Hat" is a new musical, and "Les Miserables" and "Todd the Barber" are rehearsal musicals, and the competition will be fierce at the Olivier Awards.

It was against this backdrop that the Almeida Theatre planned the first anniversary of its premiere, which became a rare hot party topic in the West End – this is London's West End, not Hollywood, not even Broadway, commemorative parties and premieres are uncommon, but this time, Les Misérables is destined to be an outlier.

However, this year is a star-studded year, "Les Miserables" is not the only outlier in the list, more and more film and TV actors are returning to the stage, which also proves that not only the attention effect brought by the blue ceremony, but also other actors have begun to pay attention to the cultivation and polishing of their own qualities, which is a positive sign, and Oliver has also given corresponding affirmation.

The most typical representative is the list of nominees for Best Actor in a Drama:

Luke-Treadaay of "The Mystery of the Midnight Puppy," James McAvoy of "Macbeth," Mark-Rylance of "Twelfth Night," Rafe-Spall of "Remarkable Man," and Rupert-Everett of "Judas' Kiss."

Among the five actors, the most famous is undoubtedly James McAvoy, who has established himself in Hollywood with works such as "X-Men" and "Atonement", but the four contenders other than him, who have also achieved good results in the field of film, are now standing on the stage of the theater, once again showing their solid skills and outstanding ability, and making a new definition of the term actor.

Among other projects, you can also see the names of famous actors such as Helen Mirren and Kristen Scott Thomas, these veteran actors have always stood on the stage conscientiously, constantly polishing themselves, constantly precipitating themselves, and constantly updating themselves, and they have received Olivier Award nominations, which will undoubtedly become a beautiful scenery at this year's awards ceremony.

Compared with Broadway, the dedication and dedication of British actors immediately stand out, let alone compared to Hollywood, but even so, the West End of London is still eagerly looking forward to more actors returning to the theater stage, laying a solid foundation for acting, and then completing the professional inheritance and promotion.

But there is no doubt that the blue gift with shallow qualifications is still the absolute focus of it!

Best Actor in a Musical, Lan Li successfully entered the final battle for the department, once again continuing his strong and mighty reign.

This is not only an Olivier Award nomination, but also means that after the Emmys, Berlin Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, Grammys and Oscars, Lan Li is expected to make another impact on individual acting awards, and it is also a further breakthrough in theater after different fields such as television, film and music - Lan Li is very likely to become the youngest "cross-industry slam" winner in history.

In an instant, this has become the biggest hot spot, and there is no one!
