Rachel Zegler and Tom Hiddleston nominated for 2026 Olivier Awards

Rachel Zegler, Tom Hiddleston and Cate Blanchett are among the nominees for the 2026 Olivier Awards.

The Snow White star has been nominated for Best Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Argentina's former First Lady Eva Perón in the revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's famed production Evita, which enjoyed a successful run at London's Palladium last year.

Reacting to the news on Instagram, Zegler posted a photo of herself looking emotional during one of her Evita curtain calls and wrote, "Olivier nominated!!!!!!!???????"

She also shared Instagram Stories of fans and friends congratulating her on her first Olivier nomination, and a screengrab of her celebrating the nominations with her Evita team via FaceTime.

Evita received five nominations overall, including Best Musical Revival and Best Actor in a Musical for Diego Andres Rodriguez.

Paddington the Musical and Into the Woods lead this year's nominees with 11 each, followed by All My Sons, Stereophonic and Kenrex with six.

Other notable nominees include Blanchett, Rosamund Pike and Marianne Jean-Baptiste, who are up for Best Actress for their performances in The Seagull, Inter Alia and All My Sons, respectively.

Over in Best Actor, key nominees include Hiddleston for Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, which he is preparing to take to Broadway, Sean Hayes for Good Night, Oscar and Bryan Cranston for All My Sons, respectively.
