1237 Oliver Award

Oliver Award!

The Oliver Awards go hand in hand with the Tony Awards.

In the industry, these two awards are juxtaposed as the highest awards for drama, although for the general public, the commercial promotion and advertising operation of the Tony Awards are stronger and more widely known; but in fact, since its establishment in 1976, it has been awarded The Oliver Award awarded by the Drama Association is slightly more authoritative among industry insiders.

The reason is very simple. Whether it is the Oliver Award or the Tony Award, the PR strategy is almost non-existent. It still retains the purity and authority of the award, and the conservativeness of being "behind the times" keeps it away from the public eye and maintains absolute professionalism. For the United States, the British theatrical circle still retains its fine traditions and inheritance, and commercial penetration has not destroyed the origin of artistic creation.

This also makes the Oliver Award have a clear status!

It is no exaggeration to say that in the UK, an Oliver Award is the most crucial affirmation for an actor, and even surpasses all other awards. Judi Dench's status in the British showbiz is natural, from her Oliver Award nominations and awards. It can be seen that as of 2017, the 15 nominations and 8 awards, all of which are the highest in history.

For the general public, people may only know about the Oscars or the BAFTA Awards, and they still can't really understand the industry status and reputation of those old actors; but after carefully browsing the annual Oliver Award nomination list, the heart In the depths, you can start a pair of numbers.

At the beginning of its establishment, the award was called the West End Drama Society Award. In 1984, with the consent of Sir Lawrence Oliver, the London Drama Society renamed the award the "Lawrence Oliver Award" to commemorate the greatest Shakespeare in British history. Actors, but also hope to pass on this spirit.

Undoubtedly, this is also very important for any actor's affirmation.

This year, the annual Oliver Awards have once again announced nominations.

This time, the Oliver Awards, which have always had lukewarm publicity and attention, attracted all the attention from the West End and Broadway, even amateur audiences who didn't have much interest in theatre.

What's more, this year's Oliver Awards Ceremony will be broadcast live on BBc TV station for the first time in ten years, which will also be an attempt to keep pace with the times-compared to the major awards ceremonies in the United States, such an attempt is really slow. Late, but full of topics. Naturally, this also attracted more attention to the Oliver Awards.

After the nominations were announced, the Oliver Awards lived up to all expectations and set off all the attention in the field of drama!

"Les Miserables" took the lead, sweeping the world in the past year, setting off a frenzy, and the rehearsal of the classic repertoire, leading the entire nomination list, and created the record for the most nominations in the history of the Oliver Awards with 11 nominations. The strength continued in a hurry.

Best Revival of a Musical, Best Actor in a Musical, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Stage Director, Best Stage Design, Best Costume Design, Best Lighting, Best Audience Picks and more.

There are a total of eleven nominations before and after, which sturdily broke the record for the number of nominations. Just like the "Titanic" that swept the Oscar nominations that year, it has shown its powerful dominance with great brilliance, and has undoubtedly become the most powerful in the past year. An experimental repertoire of viewing value and discussion of meaning.

From actor cast to behind-the-scenes production, from script writing to stage choreography, from professionals to audience selection, "Les Miserables" has fully detonated a craze for word-of-mouth. Imagine that soon, on top of the Tony Awards, this work is bound to be worthy of more expectations.

Among them, Tom Holland, who played Enjolras, won the nomination for Best Supporting Actor, but Ezra Miller, who played Javert, was unfortunately not shortlisted; Dockery and Charlotte Kennedy, who played Cosette, were both nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

There will be fierce competition.

In the actor department, "Les Miserables" leads the whole trend. It can be seen from the side that this work has been affirmed and supported in all directions, and the solid performances of a group of young actors have been nominated for nominations, which not only further Inspired the Almeida Theatre to continue rehearsing with a new lineup, and further encouraged the discovery of more new productions throughout 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 circle, it will have an indispensable and major impetus for the future exhibition of the theater industry. . But in such a situation, when John Codd tried to revive "Les Miserables", how could anyone have expected it?

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

In the nomination list for the best revival musical, "Les Miserables" will compete with "The Master Todd", "Song and Dance Online", "Karaoke" and other works, each of which is once famous The classic masterpiece, after the revival, once again achieved great success and successfully won the nomination.

"Karaoke Hall" is undoubtedly the most famous work - above the 45th Oscar, a film adapted from the original musical, and the "Godfather" launched a fierce battle with a bayonet. The director won, and so did the total number of statuettes, truly going down in history. This time, "Karaoke Hall" will be the twenty-ninth revival in different countries and regions in the long history.

In other words, even for the twenty-ninth rerun, the quality is still excellent! Another important nomination this year!

In addition, there is also a relationship between "Teacher Todd" and Renly. During the production stage of the film version, Renly was one of the important candidates for the protagonist. Now it is a head-to-head confrontation. It seems that the two are doomed to have an inseparable fate.

This work is the 17th adaptation and revival in history. It has received nominations and awards for the Tony Award and the Oliver Award many times before and after. It is undoubtedly a work that is fully worthy of being remembered on the stage, and this year is no exception. In the sound, it entered the final competition stage of the Oliver Award, which once again proved the charm of classic reproduction.

Strong opponents and fierce competition further prove the excellence and excellence of "Les Miserables"!

Although it is far ahead in the number of nominations, the competition and competition for awards should not be underestimated, and "Les Miserables" is far from the level of peace of mind. Beyond that, the new drama "The Mystery of the Dog in the Night" has eight nominations. Not far behind, "Top Hat" and "Student Todd" received seven and six nominations, respectively, and they are both strong opponents.

However, "The Mystery of the Puppy in the Night" is a brand new drama, "High Hat" is a brand new musical, and "Les Miserables" and "Les Miserables" are both revival musicals. The signs of competition are still slightly different. At that time, these works will be in fierce competition at the Oliver Awards Ceremony.

It is against this backdrop that the Almeida Theatre planned its one-year anniversary event, 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 screenings. It's not common, but this time, "Les Miserables" is destined to be an anomaly.

It's been a star-studded year, though, and "Les Miserables" isn't the only outlier on the list, with a growing number of film and TV actors returning to the stage, proving that it's not just Renly's attention As a result, other actors also began to pay attention to the cultivation and polishing of their own qualities, which is a positive sign, and Oliver also gave corresponding affirmation.

The most typical representative is the nomination list for Best Actor in a Play:

Luke-Tradaay of "Late Night Puppy Mystery", James McAvoy of "Macbeth", mark-Ry1ance of "Twelfth Night", "Outstanding" Rafe-spa11 of "Character" and Rupert-everett of "Kiss of Judas".

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 outside him, He has also achieved good results in the film field. Now standing on the stage of drama, he has once again demonstrated his solid foundation and outstanding ability, and has made a new definition of the term actor.

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

Compared with Broadway, the dedication and focus of British actors are immediately highlighted, not to mention compared with Hollywood; but even so, the West End of London is still eagerly looking forward to the return of more actors to the theater stage. , lay a solid foundation for performance, and then complete the professional inheritance and promotion.

But there is no doubt that the junior Renly who has less seniority is still the absolute focus!

For Best Actor in a Musical, Renly managed to make it into the division's final battle, once again continuing his mighty streak.

This is not just an Oliver nomination, but also means that, after the Emmys, Berlin Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, Grammys and Oscars, Renly has the hope of once again hitting the individual acting awards; and, This is a further breakthrough in drama after TV, film, music and other fields - Renly is very likely to become the youngest "cross-industry slam" winner in history.

In an instant, this became the biggest hot spot, no one!
