The Oliviers have snubbed Hare, Branagh and theatrical adventure

guardian.co.uk: "It's awards time again. We've already had the theatre gongs from the Evening Standard and the Critics' Circle (the latter, by the way, are still the best of the bunch because they're based on a secret ballot by people who've actually seen all the shows). Now come the nominations for the Olivier awards, and you can already see the headlines. Another triumphant year for the Donmar, which gets nominated in just about every category. It also looks as if August: Osage County (nominated for best new play, best actress and best company performance) will do well. So too will La Cage aux Folles which manages, like the heroine in Candide, to glitter and be gay."
