As you know (I hope) our dear Benedict may this evening win an Olivier award (along with Jonny Lee Miller) for his work in Frankenstein. Through this link we can watch the ceremony online. It starts at 18:00 pm (UK's time I presume). In case you want to watch it, here it is

I'll be watching it, of course

Fingers crossed for them both. They are fine actors.

Of course, I'll tell you whatever happens.
Fingers crossed from Spain too

For now, no Benedict in the red carpet. Maybe he's not going (I believe he's still filming Star Trek).
I've seen Jonny Lee Miller, so nice and handsome...

Edit: A wonderful performance of Bohemian Rhapsody (one of my favourite songs EVER) with Brian May in the flesh on stage.
Anyway the wind blows...

Yeah, Brian May playing Bo Rhap as the opening act together with WWRY cast - have been seeing the musical 25 times so far - amazing!

Is it on normal TV at all? I mean in the UK? I could probably just check the TV guide but I'm too lazy.

Oooh... James McAvoy now... love him too.

I'm realizing I really love a lot of those men lol

First award for Frankenstein: best lightning design.
Jonny Lee Miller accepted it in the winner's behalf. No trace of Ben, I'm now sure he's not there. If they win the joint award for best actor it'll be a pitty not seeing him there.

Maybe we will be seeing him at the BAFTAs in May?

I hope so. If this year he doesn't get his award, I think we would have to tie every single member of the academy to a chair and show them infinite repeats of the complete series. Just so they know what being a great actor means.

I'm still watching the Oliviers though Benedict is not there. I'm starting to realize I love everyone there...

Benedict won! I missed it, but saw it all over Twitter.

Thanks for the link Kaz.

I wonder if Benedict and Jonny have spoken to each other about Sherlock yet...seeing as they're both playing him...surely the conversation must have arisen at some point?!
