The Olivier Awards alongside the Tony Awards.
In the industry, these two awards are jointly known as the highest awards for drama. Although to the general public, the Tony Awards’ commercial promotion and advertising operations are more powerful and more well-known; but in fact, since its establishment in 1976, it has been established by London The Olivier Award issued by the Drama Association is still slightly more authoritative among industry insiders..
The reason is very simple. Whether it is the Olivier Awards or the Tony Awards, public relations strategies are almost non-existent. They still retain the purity and authority of the awards. They are "behind the times" conservative, stay away from the public eye, and maintain absolute professionalism; while relatively As far as the United States is concerned, the British theater circle still retains its fine traditions and inheritance, and commercial penetration has not destroyed the origin of artistic creation..
This also gives the Olivier Award a transcendent status！
It is no exaggeration to say that in the UK, an Olivier Award is the most important recognition for an actor, even more than all other awards. Judi Dench’s status in the British entertainment industry is transcendent, from her Olivier Award nomination and awards You can see it - as of 2017, there have been fifteen nominations and eight awards, all of which are the best 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 never really understand the status and reputation of those veteran actors in the industry; but after carefully browsing the annual Olivier Award nomination list, they feel in their hearts Once you're in the depths, you can start calling them one by one..

In 1984, with the consent of Sir Laurence Olivier, the London Drama Society renamed the award the "Laurence Olivier Award" to commemorate the greatest Shakespeare in British history. Actor, but also hopes to pass on this spirit.
Undoubtedly, this recognition is of extraordinary weight for any actor..
This year, the annual Olivier Awards announced their nominations again.
This time, the Olivier Awards, which have always received tepid publicity and attention, attracted all the attention from the West End and Broadway, even amateur audiences who did not have much interest in dramas were no exception..
What's more, this year's Olivier Awards Ceremony will be broadcast live on BBC TV for the first time in ten years. This will also be an attempt to keep pace with the times - compared to other major American award ceremonies, such an attempt is really slow. It’s late, but it’s full of topics. Naturally, this also attracted more attention to the Olivier Awards..
After the nomination list was announced, the Olivier Awards lived up to expectations and attracted all attention in the drama field.！
“"Les Misérables" took the lead. The revival of the classic play that has swept the world, caused a frenzy and sparked many topics in the past year, undoubtedly led the entire nomination list, and created the record for the most nominations in the history of the Olivier Awards with eleven nominations, extending its own strength. It continued in one go.
Best Revival of a Musical, Best Actor in a Musical, Best Supporting Actor, Two Best Supporting Actresses, Best Director, Best Stage Direction, Best Scenic Design, Best Costume Design, Best Lighting Effects, Best Audience Choice and More.
There were a total of eleven nominations before and after, breaking the record for the number of nominations. Just like "Titanic" that swept the Oscar nominations that year, it showed its strong dominance in an extremely brilliant way, and undoubtedly became the most popular film in the past year. An experimental play with great viewing value and discussion significance.
From actors and casts to behind-the-scenes production, from script writing to stage arrangement, from professionals to audience selection, "Les Misérables" has detonated a wave of word-of-mouth craze, and has become the biggest highlight above this year's Olivier Awards, and even Imagine that soon, on top of the Tony Awards, this work will surely deserve more expectations.
Among them, Tom Holland, who played Enjolras, won the nomination for Best Supporting Actor, but Ezra Miller, who played Javert, unfortunately was not nominated; Michel, who played Madame Thénardier Dockery and Charlotte Kennedy, who plays Cosette, are both nominated for Best Supporting Actress and will compete fiercely..
In the actor department, "Les Misérables" has taken the lead in leading the entire trend. It can be seen from the side that this work has been recognized and supported in all aspects. The solid performances of many young actors have been nominated one after another. This not only further Inspiring the Almeida Theater to continue rehearsing with a new line-up, and further encouraging the discovery of more new works across the West End.
It is conceivable that more and more bold and innovative plays will be staged, and more and more young professional actors will emerge. After forming an effective virtuous cycle, it will be an indispensable and significant driving force for the future development of the theater industry. .But such a situation, how could anyone have expected it when John Corder tried to revive "Les Misérables"?？
This year, competition for revivals of musicals is no small matter.
Among the nominations for the best revival of a musical, "Les Misérables" will compete with works such as "Sweeney Todd", "Cabaret" and "Cabaret", each of which is a once-famous work. ’s classic masterpiece, after its revival, it once again achieved great success and successfully received nominations.
“"Cabaret" is undoubtedly the most famous work - at the 45th Oscar, the movie adapted from the original musical started a fierce battle with "The Godfather". In the end, it lost the best picture and the best director. Won, and the total number of statuettes also won, truly recorded in the annals of history. This time, "Cabaret" will be the 29th re-arrangement in different countries and regions in the long history of history..
In other words, even if it is the twenty-ninth rerun, the quality is still excellent! Another important nomination this year！
In addition, "Sweeney Todd" and Renly also have a close relationship. During the production stage of the movie version, Renly was one of the important candidates for the protagonist. Unfortunately, after missing out, they reunited as rivals on the theater stage. Now there is a head-on confrontation. It seems that the two are destined to have a fate that is not destined to be separated..
This work is the seventeenth adaptation and revival in history. It has received multiple Tony Award and Olivier Award nominations and awards. It is undoubtedly a work worth remembering on the stage. This year is no exception and is receiving praise. Amid the great success, it entered the final stage of competition for the Olivier Award, once again proving the charm of classic reproductions..
Strong opponents and fierce competition further prove the excellence and excellence of "Les Misérables"！
Although it is far ahead in terms of the number of nominations, the competition for awards cannot be underestimated. "Les Miserables" is far from being able to sit back and relax. In addition, the new drama "The Mysterious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" has eight nominations Following closely behind, "Top Hat" and "Sweeney Todd" received seven and six nominations respectively. They are both strong opponents..
However, "The Mysterious Incident of the Dog" is a new play, "Top Hat" is a new musical, and "Les Misérables" and "Sweeney Todd" are both revival musicals, so the signs of competition are slightly different. At that time, these works will compete fiercely at the Olivier Awards Ceremony.
It is against this background that the Almeida Theater planned an event for the first anniversary of the premiere, which rarely became a hot party topic in the West End - this is London's West End, not Hollywood, not even Broadway, commemorative parties and Premieres don't happen often, but this time, "Les Misérables" is destined to be an outlier.
However, this year is a star-studded year, and "Les Misérables" is not the only outlier on the list. More and more film and TV actors are returning to stage shows, which also proves that it is not just Renly who brings attention. As a result, other actors have begun to pay attention to the cultivation and polishing of their own qualities. This is a positive sign, and Oliver also gave corresponding recognition..
The most typical representative is the nomination list for Best Drama Actor：
“Luke- Treadaway of "The Mysterious Incident of the Dog in the Night", James McAvoy of "Macbeth", Mark Rylance of "Twelfth Night", "Outstanding People" "Rafe-Spall" and "Judas Kiss" Rupert-Everett）.
Among the five actors, the most famous is undoubtedly James McAvoy, who has established a firm foothold in Hollywood with works such as "X-Men" and "Atonement"; but the four competitors other than him, He has also achieved good results in the film field. Now he is standing on the theater stage, once again showing his solid skills and outstanding abilities, and giving a new definition to 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, and constantly precipitating themselves. Continuously updating themselves, after they have received Olivier Award nominations one after another, they will undoubtedly become a beautiful scenery at this year's awards ceremony..
Compared with Broadway, the professionalism and concentration of British actors are immediately highlighted, let alone compared with Hollywood; but even so, London's West End is still eagerly looking forward to more actors returning to the theater stage. , lay a solid foundation in performance, and then complete the professional inheritance and promotion.
But there is no doubt that the junior Renly is still the absolute focus.！
For Best Actor in a Musical, Renly successfully entered the final battle for this department and once again continued his strength..
This is not just an Olivier Award nomination, but it also means that Renly hopes to win personal acting awards again after the Emmy Awards, Berlin Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, Grammys and Oscars; and, This is a further breakthrough in drama after television, film, music and other different fields - Renly is very likely to become the youngest "Cross-Industry Grand Slam" winner in history.
