The Laurence Oliver Awards, regarded as the most prestigious awards in London theatre, are presented annually by the Society of London Theatre, the trade association representing London's major theatre producers, proprietors and managers.
The Awards were established in 1976 in order to recognise distinguished artistic achievement in London theatre and Lord Olivier agreed to have his name associated with them in 1984.
The Awards are judged by 4 separate panels: the Theatre panel, the Opera panel, the Dance Panel and the Affiliates Panel. The Theatre Panel comprises 5 theatre experts, plus 8 members of the theatregoing public. The nominations for the Theatre Awards are decided by secret ballot of all members of the Theartre Panel and the Society. Only the President of the Society who counted the votes knows the results until the Awards Presentation.
The bronze Laurence Olivier Award presented to all winners was commissioned by the Society from the sculptor Harry Franchetti. It represents the young Laurence Olivier as Henry V at the Old Vic in 1937. (Source: freely adapted from various Awards brochures) |
The Australian Entertainment 'MO' Awards were introduced in 1976 to celebrate excellence in live performance. The name was chosen in honour of the Australian artist Roy Rene, who, under his character name of 'Mo' McCackie, was one of Australia's greatest clowns and comics.
Every year during the MO Awards Presentation Ceremony 39 different Awards are bestowed to the winners for categories including musical theatre, classical music, opera, jazz, drama, comedy, dance, variety, etc. The annual Presentation also raises money for the benevolent fund which supports live entertainment performers in times of need. In March 2006 the MO Awards celebrated 30 years of excellence in live performance. |
The Sydney Theatre Critics Awards were introduced in the Eighties by a group of Sydney theatre critics (the Sydney Theatre Critics Circle) in order to recognise the strength, quality and diversity of theatre in Sydney. The Circle was disbanded after its 1993 session, but it has now been revived as The Sydney Reviewers. The inaugural Sydney Theatre Awards for 2005 took place on 16 January 2006. |
