Elsewhere, the Best Director award went to Jamie Lloyd for the Savoy Theatre production of Sunset Boulevard while Vanya starring Andrew Scott landed Best Revival. Mark Gatiss won Best Actor for The Motive and the Cue. Will Close nabbed Best Supporting Actor for his role in the National Theatre’s popular Dear England and Haydn Gwynne clinched Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her role as Winston Churchill in When Winston Went To War With The Wireless at Donmar Warehouse. Sunset Boulevard was the biggest winner of the night with seven gongs.

Proceedings this evening began with Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham performing a number with singer and pianist Joe Stilgoe. Waddingham, who will be seen on the big screen this year in The Fall Guy and Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 2, hosted last year’s ceremony, and the Olivier Awards administrators at the Society of London Theatre moved fast to book her again for today’s award festivities.

Attendees included James Norton (Little Women, Happy Valley), nominated in the best actor line-up for A Little Life, and Andrew Scott, nominated for Vanya, Simon Stephens’s adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. Sarah Jessica Parker (And Just Like That…) was nominated in the best actress category for her performance in Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite which also stars her husband Matthew Broderick, but did not attend.

We were inside the Royal Albert Hall and on the green carpet, where we spoke with several attendees, including Mark Gatiss, Joseph Fiennes, and Marisha Wallace.

The ceremony coincided with the National Theatre’s 60th anniversary. The theatre, founded by Laurence Olivier, was nominated for 15 awards this year and will celebrate the landmark anniversary with a special grand finale and onstage dedication.
