Sarah Snook and Nicole Scherzinger led the winners at the Olivier Awards in London on Sunday.

The Succession star won the Best Actress prize at the U.K.'s most prestigious theatre awards for her performance in her one-woman adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Nicole's Best Actress in a Musical prize was one of a host of wins for Sunset Boulevard. Her co-lead Tom Francis won Best Actor in a Musical, while Best Director went to Jamie Lloyd. Unsurprisingly, the show was also named Best Musical Revival.

Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss won the Best Actor trophy for his performance in The Motive and the Cue, a play about Richard Burton and Sir John Gielgud's 1964 production of Hamlet.

Dear England, about the England football team's near misses in recent tournaments, won Best New Play, the Andrew Scott-starring revival of Anton Chekov's Uncle Vanya, Vanya, won Best Revival, and Operation Mincemeat was named Best New Musical.

The supporting actor prizes for dramatic plays were won by Haydn Gwynne for When Winston Went To War With The Wireless, and Will Close, for Dear England. Their musical equivalents were won by Jak Malone for Operation Mincemeat, and Amy Trigg for The Little Big Things.
