Olivier Awards: Adrien Brody gets first nomination days after Oscar win

Nominations for the Olivier Awards, British theatre's most prestigious honours, have been announced. Following his second Oscar win at the weekend, Adrien Brody is nominated for best actor, for his performance in The Fear Of 13 - a play based on the real-life story of a man who spent 22 years on death row for a rape and murder that he did not commit. Fellow US stars Billy Crudup and John Lithgow are up against him in the category, along with UK stars Paapa Essiedu and Mark Strong. Brody, Crudup, Essiedu and Lithgow are all first-time nominees. In the best actress category, The Crown star Lesley Manville is up against Meera Syal, Indira Varma, Heather Agyepong and Rosie Sheehy. Manville and Varma both nominated for playing the same role in different productions of the Greek mythology classic Oedipus Fiddler On The Roof is this year's most nominated production, with 13 nods. It's up for best musical revival, with old favourites including Oliver!, Hello Dolly and Starlight Express. In the musical theatre performing categories, John Dagleish is up for best actor for his role in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, a decade after his last win. He's up against Myles Frost, Simon Lipkin, Jamie Muscato and Adam Dannheisser. Four-time Olivier winner Imelda Staunton is up for best actress in a musical for her role in Hello Dolly!, her 14th Olivier nomination and her eighth in the category. She's competing against Lara Pulver, Chumisa Dornford-May, Lauren Drew and Clare Foster. Best new play includes Brody's The Fear Of 13, along with Kyoto, Shifters, Giant and The Years. Giant and The Years are tied for most nominated play this year with five apiece. Gina McKee is nominated for best actress in a supporting role, alongside Romola Garai who is double nominated in the same category for her roles in Giant and The Years. Actress Sharon D Clarke makes up the category. And in best supporting actor, Ben Whishaw will be battling it out against Jorge Bosch, Tom Edden, and Elliot Levey. Sunset Boulevard was the big winner at last year's Olivier Awards, taking home seven gongs and equalling the record for the most prizes for a musical at the ceremony. The 2025 Olivier Awards will take place on Sunday 6 April at the Royal Albert Hall, hosted by Beverley Knight and Billy Porter.
