Best Actress

Gillian Anderson in A Streetcar Named Desire – Young Vic
Kristin Scott Thomas in Electra – Old Vic
Imelda Staunton in Good People – Hampstead / Noël Coward
Penelope Wilton in Taken at Midnight – Theatre Royal Haymarket


I missed Wilton's performance but of the others, I think Anderson was my favourite. I'd happily see either of the others win though, Staunton particularly strong this year, as she is every year!

Should win: Gillian Anderson
Will win: Imelda Staunton
