Also, I shortlisted these 10 actresses and 15 actors that likely has the biggest chances at noms:
Jodie Comer - Prima Facie Anne-Marie Duff - The House of Shades Noma Dumezweni - A Doll’s House Part 2 Emma Corrin - Orlando Indira Varma/Emília Clarke - The Seagull Sophie Melville - Iphigenia in Splott Liz Kingsman - One Woman Show Patsy Ferran - A Streetcar Named Desire Nicola Walker - The Corn is Green Katherine Parkinson - Much Ado About Nothing
Bertie Carvel - The 47th David Tennant - Good Ian McKellen - Mother Goose Rafe Spall - To Kill a Mockingbird Paul Mescal - A Streetcar Named Desire Jonathan Bailey - Cock Giles Terera/Paul Hilton - Othello Shubham Saraf - The Father and the Assassin Tom Hollander - Patriots Kit Harrington - Henry V Sam Troughton - Closer Wil Johnson - Jitney David Harbour - Mad House Rob Madge - My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?)
Again, dont know if I’m missing anyone.
I would say those are my predictions as of now:
Jodie Comer - Prima Facie Anne-Marie Duff - The House of Shades Emma Corrin - Orlando Indira Varma - The Seagull
Alt.: Sophie Melville - Iphigenia in Splott or Patsy Ferran - A Streetcar Named Desire
Bertie Carvel - The 47th David Tennant - Good Ian McKellen - Mother Goose Rafe Spall - To Kill a Mockingbird
Alt.: Paul Mescal - A Streetcar Named Desire / Giles Terera - Othello

With the nominations less than a week away, I figured I'd make some final predictions for who I believe the nominees will be. Here they are:
Best New Play 1. To Kill a Mockingbird 2. My Neighbour Totoro 3. Prime Facie 4. Patriots
Possibilities: The Father and the Assassin / Mad House
Best New Musical 1. Tammy Faye 2. The Band’s Visit 3. Standing at the Sky’s Edge 4. Newsies
Possibilities: Sylvia / Bonnie and Clyde
Best Revival 1. A Streetcar Named Desire 2. Jerusalem 3. The Corn is Green 4. The Seagull
Possibilities: Jitney / Cock
Best Revival of a Musical 1. Oklahoma! 2. South Pacific 3. My Fair Lady
Possibilities: Legally Blonde / Sister Act
Speaking personally, my favourites of this season were Oklahoma, South Pacific, and To Kill a Mockingbird. I was also a big fan of My Fair Lady, though I saw that during its original run on Broadway. The acting categories are so hard to predict, but it would be wonderful to see Marisha Wallace (Oklahoma) and Julian Ovenden (South Pacific) recognised in the musical categories, as well as Rafe Spall (To Kill a Mockingbird) and Patsy Ferran (A Streetcar Named Desire) in the play categories. Just five more days to wait until we find out!

I'm assuming My Son's A Queer will be nominated for Best Comedy/Entertainment, and given the raves I've heard about it I think it probably has a good chance to win (I've not seen it myself though)

I would be totally thrilled if Allegiance won achievement in affiliate theatre. I think Mockingbird for best Play Best Musical is a tricky one, I’d love for Standing at the Sky’s Edge or Tammy Faye to win.

I would hope that The Bands Visit, Newsies and Tammy Faye are definite contenders for Best New Musical, as to who will get the other 1 or 2 slots is a choice of another 2 or 3. I'd be surprised if 101, Hex, Mandela or even Bonnie and Clylde got a nomination. Mind you, If Back To The Future can win Best New Musical, there's hope for all of them.

It’s time for a Casting category - one for Musicals, one for Plays. The BAFTAs recently started awarding Best Casting for Film and Television divisions, it’s a must the Oliviers recognize this need as well.

Do the best musical nominees usually perform at the awards, like at the Tony’s?

Is there a way to watch the video of nominations being announced? I couldn't find anything on YouTube.

Can we take another moment to appreciate one special move.... Hannah Waddingham to host the awards is inspired. Jason Manford was fine, if boring and a bit ill fitting. The new host should change things up nicely imo and no doubt she will sing!

Very happy with the 4 best actresses in a musical. A bit disappointed in the supporting actor and actresses in a play/musical categories though.

Why do some categories have five nominees and others only four? Doesn't seem fair to those who miss out on a spot.

And why do the Oliviers never put "The' in front of the theatre name? They never do it and it just sounds really odd.

The main awards are surely going to ''To Kill a Mockingbird'', ''A Streetcar Named Desire'', ''Standing at the Sky's Edge'' and ''Oklahoma!''. They really really loved these shows and gave little to no love to the other nominees.
I mean, ''Prima Facie'' overperformance and ''The Band's Visit'' got a nice haul of noms, but I don't see both beating ''Mockingbird'' and ''Standing''.
I have no idea who wins Actor in a Musical, but Kate is winning Actress, right?
Poor Emma Corrin, thought that for sure she would get a nom. Comer is unbeatable.
Actor in a Play is Mescal's to lose or any of the other nominees has a chance?

JERUSALEM was/is magnificent but, like CONSTELLATIONS last year, shouldn't have been eligible. It's a reprise of a pre-existing production - same set/star/director etc - rather than a reconsideration of it, the way a proper revival would be. I'm rooting for GOOD or STREETCAR. Too bad no room for Jamie Lloyd's thrilling if contoversial SEAGULL.
Very surprised no noms either for the amazing Lynette Linton for director (she won the Standard Award in this category in December), or the incomparable Patrick Vaill, another Standard winner, but then PV didn't get a Tony nomination either for his stunning Jud Fry in OKLAHOMA! on Bway so he must be used to being overlooked. He was streets ahead of Arthur Darvill, Marisha Wallace, and Liza Sadovy in that production. Though Sadovy's win last year for CABARET was and remains entirely deserved.
Sigh.

A nice mix of nominees I would say. I'm also very surprised no Patrick Vail for Oklahoma and I'm also surprised no The Unfriend nominations and only one for Phaedra.
Aside I have to say I found Amber Davis very annoying reading the nominees as she kept bobbing around, come on get some proper presenters!

I too was surprised that The Unfriend didn't get a nomination for best comedy.

The Outstanding Achievement in Opera nominations baffle me. How can you reasonably compare a singer, a director & a designer?
I bet the ROH Peter Grimes will win Best New Opera Production. I was booked for it then returned my ticket, after reading the first night reviews & seeing the production pics. I have form with Peter Grimes & the Oliviers: I walked out of ENO's 2009 production after the first act because I loathed it only for that to win the Olivier. So I'll probably totally disagree with the Oliviers for two Grimeses running!

Good year for Sadler's Wells (inc. vs. ROH); 50% of 'Best new dance production'* noms, and 75% of 'Outstanding achievement in dance' noms. * surprised in a good way to see Traplord nom'ed - afair it was only on for 3-4 performances (in an underground car park). In Affiliates, the Bush got 2 of 5: deserved recognition! Streetcar in for all the big awards; Frecknall, Mescal, Ferran, Vasan (plus Revival cat). I'd give it three of those .. Lastly, no mention for Mark Rylance.

Mark Rylance has already won an Olivier for the same role in the exact same production remounted last year. It's not even like Ian McKellen being nominated for two different productions of Lear directed by two different people.

That’s a second Olivier for Katie Brayben then and I am totally delighted about it.
Jodie Comer has it in the bag too.
