Since the awards season in London is just around the corner, what shows do we think will get the most Olivier award nominations?

I think that Frozen will do a lot better than it did in the Tonys, and Moulin Rouge may not be the runaway dominator it was in the truncated 2019-20 season. The ones to beat are probably the two revivals though, and I expect Cabaret to beat Anything Goes to acting awards because of the starrier cast...

Though I have not seen the new revival of Cabaret (even though RELLY I want to), I think this will sweep most of the technical awards (set, lighting, sound, etc.) as well as the Leading Actor/Actress for Redmayne and Buckley. I also think they will pick up Best Revival.

I think the Technical Awards will be the most open, particularly as they represent the best chance for the commercialised blockbuster musicals that will be competing in the Best New Musicals category....

I'm struggling to find the date the nominations are announced...does anyone know? I know the actual awards are in April.
