Oliver prize!

The Oliver prize, which is on par with the Tony prize.

In the industry, these two awards are regarded as the highest awards of drama, although for the general public, the commercial promotion and advertising operation of Tony Awards are stronger and more widely known; But in fact, since its establishment in 1976, the Oliver prize, awarded by the London Theatre Association, has been slightly more authoritative among the industry.

The reason is very simple, whether it is Oliver award or Tony Award, public relations strategy almost does not exist, still retains the purity and authority of the award, "behind the times" conservative, away from the public eye, but also maintain the absolute professional; Compared with the United States, the British drama circle still retains the fine tradition and inheritance, and the commercial penetration still does not destroy the origin of artistic creation.

This also makes the Oliver prize has a transcendent status!

It is no exaggeration to say that in the UK, an Oliver award is the most important affirmation of actors, even more than all other awards. Judy Dench's status in the British performing arts circle is extraordinary. It can be seen from her Oliver Award nominations and Awards - up to 2017, she has 15 nominations and eight awards, all of which are the most in history.

For the general public, people may only know about the Oscars or the Academy of motion picture and Television Arts Awards. They can never really understand the status and reputation of those old actors in the industry; But after seriously browsing the list of nominations for the Oliver prize every year, you can start pairing up one by one in your heart.

At the beginning of its establishment, the award was called the west end Drama Association Award. In 1984, with the consent of Sir Lawrence Oliver, the London Drama Association renamed the award "Lawrence Oliver Award", in order to commemorate the greatest Shakespeare actor in British history, and also hope to inherit this spirit.

Undoubtedly, this affirmation for any actor is also extraordinary.

This year, the annual Oliver award again announced the nomination.

This time, the Oliver prize, which has always been poorly publicized and paid attention to, has attracted all the attention from the west end and Broadway, even the amateur audience who are not very interested in drama.

What's more, this year's Oliver awards ceremony will be broadcast live on BBC for the first time in 10 years, which will also be an attempt to keep pace with the times. Compared with the major award ceremonies in the United States, such an attempt is really a late arrival but full of topics. Naturally, it also attracted more attention for the Oliver prize.

After the announcement of the nomination list, the Oliver prize has set off all the focus of attention in the field of drama!

"Les miserables" took the lead. In the past year, the classic repertoire that swept the world, set off a frenzy, and had a lot of topics rearranged. It took the lead in the whole nomination list, and created the record of the most nominations in the history of Oliver awards with 11 nominations, which continued its strong momentum.

The best series musical, the best musical actor, the best supporting actor, two best supporting actors, the best director, the best stage director, the best stage design, the best costume design, the best lighting effect, the best audience choice and so on.

A total of 11 nominations before and after the event broke the record of number of nominations, just like the "Titanic" which swept the Oscar nominations that year, it showed its powerful ruling power with incomparable brilliance, and undoubtedly became an experimental play with the most ornamental value and discussion significance in the past year.

From actor Cass to behind the scenes production, from script writing to stage arrangement, from professionals to audience choice, "les miserables" has set off a wave of word-of-mouth in an all-round way. It has become the biggest highlight of this year's Oliver awards. It can even be imagined that this work will surely be worth more expectation in the near future.

Among them, Tom Herland, who plays Enjolras, won the nomination for best supporting actor. On the contrary, Ezra Miller, who plays Javert, regretfully failed to be shortlisted; Michelle duckling, who plays Madame de nadier, and Charlotte Kennedy, who plays Cosette, are both nominated for best supporting actress, and there will be fierce competition.

Among the actors, "les miserables" has led the whole trend. From the side, we can see that this work has been affirmed and supported in all aspects. The solid performance of a group of young actors has been nominated one after another, which not only further encourages the Almeida theater to adopt a new lineup for continuous rehearsal, It also further encourages the whole western district to explore more new works.

It can be imagined 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 significant driving force for the future development of the drama industry. But how could anyone have expected such a situation when John cod tried to rearrange the "miserable world"?

This year, there's a lot of competition for rehearsal musicals.

Among the nominations for the best repertoire musical, "les miserables" will compete with "barber Todd", "song and dance online", "song and dance hall" and other works. Each work is once a famous classic. After the repertoire, it once again achieved great success and successfully received the nomination.

"Singing hall" is undoubtedly the most famous work - the film adapted from the original musical above the 45th Oscar, and the "Godfather" launched a fierce battle of bayonet popularity. In the end, the best film lost, the best director won, and the total number of little golden men also won, which really goes down in history. This time, "song hall" will be the 29th rearrangement in different countries and regions in the long history.

In other words, even the 29th rearrangement, the quality is still excellent! Important nominations again this year!

In addition, "barber Todd" and lanli have a long history. In the production stage of the film version, lanli is one of the important candidates for the leading role. Unfortunately, after missing the film, they met again in the way of opponents on the stage of the drama. Now they are facing each other head-on. It seems that the fate of the two is doomed.

This work is the 17th rearrangement in history. It has received many nominations and awards of Tony Award and Oliver award. Undoubtedly, it is a work worthy of remembering on the stage. This year, it is no exception. It has entered the final stage of competition for Oliver award among the acclaim, proving the charm of classic remake once again.

Strong competitors and fierce competition further prove the excellence and excellence of "miserable world"!

Although it is far ahead in the number of nominations, the competition and competition for awards can not be underestimated, and "les miserables" is far from being at ease. In addition, the new drama "mystery of late night dog" is closely followed by eight nominations, while "Gao Mao" and "stylist Todd" have won seven and six nominations respectively, and they are all powerful rivals.

However, "the mystery of late night dog" is a brand new drama, "high hat" is a brand new musical, while "les miserables" and "barber Todd" are re arranged musical. The competition is still slightly different. At that time, these works will have a fierce competition on the Oliver award ceremony.

It is against this background that the Almeida theatre has planned the first anniversary of its premiere, which has become a hot party topic in the west end. This is the west end of London, not Hollywood, or even Broadway. Commemorative parties and premieres are not common, but this time, "les miserables" is destined to become an alien.

However, this year is a starry year, and "les miserables" is not the only exception in the list. More and more movie and TV actors are returning to the stage, which also proves that it is not only the attention effect brought by Langley, but also other actors continue to pay attention to the cultivation and polishing of their own quality, which is a positive sign, And Oliver also gave the corresponding affirmation.

The most typical representative is the nomination list of the best actor in the drama

Luke treadaway of "the mystery of late night puppies", "James McAvoy of" Macbeth "," mark Rylance of "the Twelfth Night", "Rafe spall of" the outstanding person "and Rupert Everett of" kiss of Judas ".

Among the five actors, the most famous one is undoubtedly James McAvoy, who has gained a firm foothold in Hollywood with his works such as "X-Men" and "atonement"; But the four competitors besides him have also made great achievements in the field of film. Now, standing on the stage of drama, they have once again shown their solid foundation and outstanding ability, and have 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 Christine Scott Thomas. These old actors always stand on the stage conscientiously, constantly Polish themselves, constantly precipitate themselves, and constantly update themselves. After they have received the nominations for the Oliver awards, they will undoubtedly become a beautiful scenery on this year's award ceremony.

Compared with Broadway, the dedication and concentration of British actors suddenly stand out, let alone Hollywood; But even so, the west end is still eagerly looking forward to more actors returning to the theatre stage, laying a solid foundation of performance, and then completing the professional inheritance and promotion.

But there is no doubt that Lan Li is still the absolute focus!

The best musical actor, lanli successfully entered the final battle of the Department, once again continued his strong and mighty.

This is not only a nomination for the Oliver prize, but also means that, after the Emmy, Berlin Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, Grammy and Oscar, Langley has the hope to hit the individual performance awards again; Moreover, this is a further breakthrough in drama after TV, film, music and other fields. Langley is very likely to become the youngest winner of "cross industry all Grand Slam" in history.

Instantly, this has become the biggest hot spot, no one!
