Sarah Snook leads Hollywood names in Olivier Awards nominations as Succession star scores nod for one-woman play
Sarah Snook has scored another nomination this awards season – and this time, it's not for her hit TV series Succession.
The Australian actress received her first Olivier Awards nod on Tuesday for her one-woman adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray, in which she plays 26 different characters.
The London theatre awards are the UK's answer to Broadway's famous Tony Awards and this year's nominations list sounds like a Hollywood roll call.

Snook will battle it out against Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker, who earned a Best Actress nomination for Plaza Suite – a play she's performing with her actor husband Matthew Broderick.
Parker made her West End debut in the romantic comedy, after a successful run on Broadway.

Broderick missed out in the Best Actor category with Hollywood stars Andrew Scott (Vanya), David Tennant (Macbeth), Joseph Fiennes (Dear England), James Norton (A Little Life) and Mark Gatiss (The Motive And The Cue) filling up the category instead.
Snook and Parker, both first-time nominees, will go up against Hollywood star Sophie Okonedo, English TV personality Sheridan Smith and Irish actress Laura Donnelly.
Snook isn't the only Australian to score a nomination, with musician Tim Minchin's Groundhog Day nominated in the Best Musical Revival category, after winning the Olivier Award for Best New Musical back in 2017.
Other notable nominees include Sam Mendes who scored a Best Director nod for The Motive And The Cue.
Former Pussycat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger scored a nomination in the Best Actress in a Musical category for her performance in Sunset Boulevard.
Hannah Waddingham returns again as host for the awards show, which will be held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday April 14 (Monday April 15 AEST).
