And the nominees are...

Best Actor In A Supporting Role

Richard McCabe for The Audience at the Gielgud theatre Winner

Best known for his roles at the Royal Shakespeare Company, McCabe wins this Olivier Award nomination for his witty and endearing, scene-stealing turn as former Prime Minister Harold Wilson in Peter Morgan’s drama.

Adrian Scarborough for Hedda Gabler at The Old Vic theatre

Winning in 2011 for his role in After The Dance, Scarborough makes this year’s category for his wonderful portrayal of Hedda Gabler’s unsophisticated yet utterly lovable husband who naively endures her manipulations.

Kyle Soller for Long Day’s Journey Into Night at the Apollo theatre

Soller is nominated for his role in Eugene O’Neill’s moving and explosive drama. His heartbreaking and harrowing turn as the impressionable and poetic Edmund won the actor critical acclaim.

Paul Chahidi for Twelfth Night at Shakespeare's Globe and the Apollo theatre

Chahidi had audiences in stitches with his portrayal of Maria in Tim Carroll’s joyous all-male Twelfth Night, pitching his witty, physical performance perfectly and wowing with a hilarious array of facial expressions.
