2017 Olivier Awards入圍名單於3/6公布
過去一年堪稱西區的音樂劇復興年，沉寂了許久的音樂劇場突然之間生機蓬勃，一掃前幾年乏善可陳江郎才盡的窘境，上一次競爭這麼激烈還要回溯到2013年的Oliviers，那次主要是因為前一年受倫敦奧運及女王登基60週年的效應影響，很多新戲不敢上而延後至2013大爆發。這一次沒有明顯的原因造成音樂劇集中出現，大概就只是因為荒廢太久大家終於願意振作了吧(?)
提名名單出來後照樣幾家歡樂幾家愁，哈利波特第八集【Harry Potter & The Cursed Child】毫無意外拔得頭籌，共獲11項提名，平了2008年音樂劇【Hairspray】創造的紀錄(呃…那年真的只是純粹因為沒競爭對手)；第二名為倫敦去年佳評如潮野心勃勃，由鬼才Tim Michin作曲的新音樂劇【Groundhog Day】，共獲得八項提名
英倫過去一年深受肯定值得注意的新戲尚有【Half A Sixpence】、【The Girls】、【Sunset Blvd.】、【Funny Girl】、【Show Boat】、【Aladdin】以及以David Bowie音樂寫成的【Lazarus】…(對 我就是假裝沒看到小寶的【School
of Rock】XDDD)…是不是很多! 是不是很心動! 是不是大爆炸!!
對，所以評審爆了，名單出來之後西區討論版上也炸了XDDD
今年名單裡比較具爭議的點包含【Half A Sixpence】未獲最佳編舞提名，而【Harry Potter and The Cursed Child】反而被提名，在這個項目裡更讓人質疑的或許是Matthew Bourne以舞劇【 Red Shoes】跑來跟音樂劇和舞台劇競爭最佳編舞，然而Olivier明明就有設立的舞劇專門獎項他卻沒有入圍…
另外doesn’t make sense的尚有【The Girls】與【Our Ladies Of Perpetual Succour】入圍最佳音樂劇女主角和最佳舞台劇女配的居然是6-8個為一組的女演員共獲一個名額的提名…這又不是【Matilda】或【Billy Elliot】是多個演員輪演同一個角色，Olivier的演員獎到底是在頒個人演技還是頒該製作的，讓人傻傻看不懂…某方面來說，這也是他們裁撤掉Best Ensemble(最佳群演)這個獎項後捉襟見肘的自作孽=.=
David Bowie音樂劇【Lazarus】完全沒被評審青睞也讓眾人為之傻眼，雖然由於演出劇院King’s Cross Theatre不是傳統上隸屬SOLT的所謂West End Theatre，所以究竟是評審不買帳還是純粹製作人未花錢購買入圍資格，就如同過去許多年的Olivier Awards遺珠一般…真相只有天知地知評審製作人知

其實今年的爭議點完全不是新聞(除了演員獎一組人同入圍一個名額是真的比較破天荒神來一筆…)，Olivier Awards公信力的缺乏、資格名單的不透明、獎項上的能省則省都是每年一提再提的致命缺陷，在劇場創作荒時還勉勉強強可以敷衍過去，但只要當年度佳作頻傳，Olivier Awards便醜態百出，提名與得獎名單就像個笑話，就更不用說從成立以來每年都要被我哀嚎一次的…最佳音樂成就到底什麼時候可以把細項分出來啊!! 不過誠如網友說的…Olivier對音樂劇的不重視一直都是有目共睹的，他們既然需要花20年的時間才理解最佳音樂劇配角真的必須分開成男配角和女配角…我們可能也就不用期待官方在近幾年有辦法明白音樂裡面的填詞作曲編曲其實是不同項目=.=
過去幾年，Olivier對這些獎項上的爭議，按照官方的說法，他們給出的理由總是…典禮時間不夠，END。然而事實卻是，比起百老匯的Tony, 美國電視的Emmy或美國電影的Oscar，Olivier Awards或許是最不需要考慮時間問題的…因為每年根本就沒有直播轉播，甚至沒有全程錄影，檯面上頒跟私下快速頒根本就沒差別啊XD
或許Olivier的品質與英國觀眾根本不甩頒獎典禮的性格，某程度是個雞生蛋蛋生雞的互為因果。因為每年不斷重複永遠不會改進的荒謬，所以Theatregoers根本沒打算照得獎名單看戲；也因為這個獎根本在票房和商業上means nothing，官方也就樂於繼續裝死反正都沒差。相較於美國劇場與電視電影圈的各大獎項，Olivier Awards所代表的實質效益委實少得可憐，更多時候，他就只是SOLT的另一個表演節目而已(而且還沒什麼人要看~茶~)
然而我始終認為，西區劇場值得一個更好更專業的獎，能夠肯定幕前幕後的努力，能夠鼓勵更多更新更大膽的創作，而不是即使在新戲爆炸的年度裡依然執著死守著一堆Revival的一汪死水。劇場的創新創作需要勇氣也需要熱情，如果傳統的所謂專業講真的無能於對創作者表示肯定，那麼觀眾或許就只能用票房來自己給予鼓勵了
Anyway，回到這個入圍名單本身，今年演員個人獎的部分大概是前所未有的有懸念，提名競爭激烈，放眼望去人人有機會，幾乎沒有人是明顯來陪榜的，4/9首度移師RAH七千人大場地的頒獎典禮，就讓我們拭目以待吧!
版主貼心小提醒: 今年Olivier Awards照樣有開放對一般觀眾開放售票(with MasterCard of course)，但今年由於頒獎地點Royal Albert Hall什麼都不多就是門最多，因此進場時演員與觀眾將不再會是同一個門進場，也就是今年買票的一般觀眾已經不能再像過去五年那樣跟明星一起走紅毯囉!
讓我們一起為今年的觀眾默哀，並默禱感謝Royal Opera House總共只長了一個門在過去五年造福了那麼多大眾，害苦了那麼多明星(?)
