Paul Mescal and Jodie Comer are among the nominees for prizes at the 2023 Olivier Awards.

The Normal People star, who is also currently nominated for an Oscar, has been shortlisted for Best Actor for his portrayal of Stanley Kowalski in the London revival of Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire.

The production received six nominations overall, including Best Revival, acting nods for his co-stars Anjana Vasan and Patsy Ferran and Best Director for Rebecca Frecknall.

Killing Eve actress Comer was nominated for the one-woman play Prima Facie, which scored five in total including Best New Play.

In addition to Mescal, the Best Actor shortlist features Tom Hollander for Patriots, Rafe Spall for To Kill A Mockingbird, David Tennant for Good, and Giles Terera for Blues for an Alabama Sky.

Meanwhile, Comer’s Best Actress competition includes Mescal’s co-star Ferran, Mei Mac for My Neighbour Totoro, Janet McTeer for Phaedra, and Nicola Walker for The Corn Is Green.

My Neighbour Totoro, the stage adaptation of the 1988 Japanese animated film, landed the most nominations of the year with nine.
