[edit] Categories

What on earth? Have the Best Actor/Actress/Supporting Role in a Musical categories been forgotten? Annie D 00:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Best Actress 2006, I believe, was Eve Best for Hedda Gabler. I saw it. She was a powerhouse. So subtle. Absolutely believable. Well deserved award. I do hope Wikipedia will correct this omission from their Olivier Award list! cbrians

The article is also missing the BEST COSTUME DESIGN category. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wk 85 (talk • contribs) 16:46, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Could someone add previous nominations, possibly in individual pages? I started, but realised I haven't got the time to do it all... you can use this source: [1] Adaircairell (talk) 17:56, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Page organisation

I think this page could be organised better; perhaps with the 2008 and future complete lists of nominations and winners on separate pages. Snowman (talk) 17:37, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Awards

I propose that as the British equivalent of the Tony Award, this article should be reformatted in a similar style tot he one for the Tonys, with each award category having its own article containing a list of winners. This way, Olivier Awards can be added into award succession tables, as are Tonys, Oscars, Grammys etc, because I think an award of the Olivier's prestige should be as well.

[edit] I agree

I agree... would be a vg idea. I, sadly, don't really have the time; I've added some unmentioned categories (Supp roles in musicals) and separated current and previous awards, but it would be a good idea to have a similar style to the tonies. Adaircairell (talk) 11:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No problem

I will happily sort this out given time. I have a contact at Society of London Theatre who is trying to get me a complete list of nominees and winners of Olivier awards, so I just need to find details of how I can reference to that... when I get it. Another suggestion I would like to add is to add a list of who has won the most Oliviers. Crazy-dancing (talk) 12:04, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Still not right

There are still things missing... e.g. Best Light Entertainment, that sort of thing... will add bits, but everyone see if we can make this a star quality article! (kudos to Crazy-dancing for doing so much already) Adaircairell (talk) 11:06, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
