The surprise at today's 24th annual Laurence Olivier Awards, held in a lunchtime ceremony held at the Lyceum Theatre, was more about what didn't win than what did. Disney's blockbuster The Lion King didn't win six of the eight categories it was nominated in, taking home instead just two awards for Best Choreographer and Best Costume Designer. And the other big contenders -- the musical Spend, Spend, Spend, which also received eight nominations, and the revival of Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing which received four nominations, including Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director -- only scooped one award apiece.
