Posted under performers thread too, but just thrilled for Sir SRB. About time! Was half asleep and wasn't sure this was actually real so had to go and google. Good it's for someone who isn't a big name though clearly we know how good he is. |

Olivia was almost certain to get something this year after her winning her Oscar. SRB's knighthood was always on the cards too in due course.
There seems to be a slightly scattergun approach in which BAME actors or actresses get awards, often it seems to be people who are flavour of the month, taking nothing away from Cush or Sheila but names like Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Adjoa Andoh, Hugh Quarshie, Derek Griffiths who have had much longer careers are as deserving IMO.

Didn't SRB already turn down a knighthood once? What's different this time?

You know, I’ve been calling him Dame Sir Lord Simon Russell Beale for long enough that I forgot he hadn’t been knighted yet!
Lovely news.

We don't know if these people haven't already declined nominations. Most royal honours are awarded only after a long nomination and selection process - it can take years and the nominee can decline the offer. There are a few that are awarded directly by the Palace , but most are through the nomination process. |

That was certainly the rumour, in fact he was even listed on the Wikipedia page of people who've declined honours (not that that's gospel, of course!) And it was what I used to comfort myself with every time another honours list rolled round without his name, especially one that did contain one of his contemporaries, Branagh and Rylance in particular. Who knows? Perhaps he thought he was too young before! Perhaps he's seen that it gives you extra clout/money in the States and/or film industry. I don't really care now 😄😄😄 |

Who knew?
"Colman, who won an Academy Award and Bafta this year for portraying Queen Anne in The Favourite and is soon to play Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, is recognised on the list for services to drama under her real name Sarah Sinclair."
I think Sarah Sinclair has a ring to it.

I believe Sarah Colman was taken when Olivia Colman joined Equity

In non-theatrical news, the creator of the Tunnock's Teacake becomes Sir Boyd.

Was gutted this morning waking up to SSRB |

There have been rumours about people turning down honours then accepting them years later or not wanting letters before their name like the late great Paul Schofield.
Some honours do take a long time to be approved but others after a major success can be awarded quickly.
Not exactly a theatre honour but Gina and Mazz Murray's dad - Mitch was made a CBE for contributions to music. He wrote a load of well known songs in 1960's and 1970's.

Maureen Lipman. Give me strength. All those years of relentless self-promotion paying off. There’s loads of proper actors more deserving than her - Juliet Stevenson for example. Fiona Shaw. Loads more.
