Best Actor is coming up soon. I think Jamie might take that one, but we'll see shortly!

You’re not that familiar with theatre awards history, are you?

BroadwayConcierge, well-said! Following Gizmo6's line of reasoning, I guess British shows shouldn't play Broadway because they might ''disincentive'' new American writers.

It's not "lol" or "tradition," it's how theatre seasons work in London and New York...
If you want to make up your own Gizmo Awards, go for it. But in the real world, when a new, full-fledged production opens in the West End or on Broadway, that's "new" by definition. Same thing happened here when Groundhog Day opened in 2017 a year after it did in London. And Matilda. And the current revival of Angels in America.
I've heard raves for Jamie as well, but Hamilton was just as equal a player in this Olivier season, and it won. Sorry you're mad about it.

Patti Lupone comes on stage - absorbs applause and says only "And the nominees are...." and "the olivier goes to ...." Amazing!

I'm really disappointed Andrew Garfield didn't win. I know it's irrational, on account of me not even seeing any of the other performances in his category, but dang. Was hoping he'd win it, I was enthralled every minute he was on stage.

Just as tonight you seem to be stereotypically playing the part of a deranged troll.
