To celebrate their relaunch as The South Bank Sky Arts Awards, Andrew Lloyd Webber and his son Julian have reworked the famous Paganini 24th Caprice theme tune from The South Bank Show documentary series. Turner Prize-winning sculptor Anish Kapoor has also been commissioned to designed statues for the winners in each of the 10 categories.
In a statement Bragg said of this year's awards: "The shortlist demonstrates the extraordinary wealth of achievement across the arts in the UK. It is fantastic to see the arts flourishing – and there has certainly never been a more important moment to celebrate the breadth and range of talent across the country. We are delighted that we can continue to honour the dedication of these artists."
Other categories covered in the South Bank Show Awards are: Pop, Film, Comedy, TV Drama, Classical Music, Visual Arts and Literature. An un-shortlisted award for Outstanding Achievement is announced on the day.

Date: 2010-12-02 01:30 am (UTC)I wake up this morning and read through my following log of twitter and found this news then I came right over there! And thanks for posting this news!
Design for Living was my favorite play in this year - you know, it was so funny and witty and had best drunk action and sexiest pajamas scene! I was giggling almost whole over the play. And Andrew's Leo was so sweet, a cutest creature in the globe (especially in pajamas) , and genius, definitely sexy and crazy, and I loved him so much! And he has been nominated for that now!! YESSS!!!!
Okay, breath deep...um, he's "nominated", not "won" yet...
But, "nominated" is great thing, isn't it?
He's already the best actor this year in my head, anyway.
...Sorry for my gusty craziness. So sorry. Sometimes I just can't stop to saying "I love this guy! He's fantastic! He should get more compliments!!" even though I know people knew it already.
