Bernadette scores Olivier nom

OLIVIER award nominations for 2010 have just been announced and Sydney scores two: Tony Sheldon for Best Actor in a Musical and Priscilla Queen of the Desert for Best New Musical.

Our Tony is up against Rowan Atkinson, for Oliver!; Aneurin Barnard, Spring Awakening; Bob Golding, Morecambe and Alexander Hanson, A Little Night Music but you can bet your life none of them look as glamorous while driving an old bus to the Alice. Priscilla's rivals are Dreamboats and Petticoats, Spring Awakening and Sister Act.

Hollywood type Rachel Weisz was extremely lucky to have played Blanche Dubois in London - which means she didn't have to endure comparisons with Our Cate in A Streetcar Named Desire. The rest of the nominations are longer than Ol Man River so you can Google them yourself. The winners will be announced in London on March 21.
