  Olivier Awards -- 2004
The great irony of the BBC’s decision not to televise this year’s Laurence Oliviers, the UK’s highest theatre accolades, is that last night’s ceremony at the London Hilton was one of the most memorable and entertaining in recent memory.
On screen, her awards include an Oscar for a performance in Shakespeare in Love which lasted all of eight minutes.
She described the feeling of overwhelming at the honour as “a bit like being at the most wonderful party and in the middle of it, somebody coming up, giving you your coat and telling you it’s time to go”.
