Imelda Staunton and John Lithgow win at Olivier Awards
Dame Imelda Staunton won a fifth Olivier, and US actor John Lithgow took aim at the Trump administration, as he picked up an honour at the UK's most prestigious theatre awards. Harry Potter and The Crown star Dame Imelda, 69, took home her latest Olivier on Sunday, this time for best actress in a musical for the London revival of classic musical Hello, Dolly!, about a middle-aged widow trying to marry a millionaire. The biggest winners of the 2025 Olivier Awards were the musical version of The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, a revival of Fiddler On The Roof, and Giant, about children's author Roald Dahl grappling with whether to make a public apology for an article deemed antisemitic. They earned three awards each, with Giant winning best new play, best actor for Lithgow, who plays Dahl, and best actor in a supporting role for English actor Elliot Levey. On stage, the 79-year-old Conclave star told the audience that he wanted to 'assure you that the special relationship is still firmly intact', between the UK and the US, after President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on British exports. Lithgow also said that 'it's not always easy to welcome an American into your midst, and at this particular moment, it's probably a little more complicated than usual'. Backstage, he told the PA news agency that 'hopefully, we (the US) are at the beginning of a period of restoration and reparation' citing Democratic senator Cory Booker's 25-hour Senate speech urging a rejection of Mr Trump's agenda. Lithgow added that he did have hope, despite the 'complete disaster of this administration'. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, a reimagining of the original movie in which Hollywood actor Brad Pitt ages backwards, won best new musical, a best actor musical award for Lark Rise To Candleford actor John Dagleish, and outstanding musical contribution award. Best actress went to Mrs Harris Goes To Paris star Lesley Manville, for Greek tragedy Oedipus at the Wyndham's Theatre in London, while Emma star Romola Garai beat herself to win best actress in a supporting role for Annie Ernaux memoir The Years. Manville said she felt 'emotional', because it was something she 'felt very strongly about being' in. Other winners included Bad Education star and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams, for his role in musical parody Titanique, which also took the Noel Coward Award for best new entertainment or comedy play. Dame Imelda's first Olivier award came in 1985, for her supporting roles in A Chorus Of Disapproval and The Corn Is Green, and was followed by an award for Into The Woods in 1991. In 2013, she won the best actress in a musical award for her role in Sweeney Todd, and in 2016 she won in the same category for her role as Mama Rose in Gypsy. The annual event, which celebrates theatrical productions, was co-hosted by British singer Beverley Knight and Pose star Billy Porter at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

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.
