Andrew Scott, who starred in the Old Vic's production of Design for Living alongside Lisa Dillon and Tom Burke as well as appearing as making a brief appearance as Moriarty in the BBC's new adaptation of Sherlock is nominated for The Times Breakthrough Award.
[...]
Andrew Scott who has been named as the theatre nominee in the Breakthrough category will compete with: Greg Davies (The Inbetweeners and a surprise hit Edinburgh Fringe run) for Comedy; Nicholas Collon (principal conductor of Aurora Orchestra) for Classical Music; Brian Maloney (Royal Ballet soloist) for Dance; Clio Barnard (director of The Arbor about the life of playwirght Andrea Dunbar) for Film; Neel Mukherjee (with his debut novel A Life Apart) for Literature; Pumeza Matshikiza (lyric soprano) for Opera; Everything Everything (art rock band) for Music; Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary Crawley in Downton Abbey) for Television Drama; and Simon Fujiwara (Cartier Award-winning instalation artist) for Visual Art.
[...]
Melvyn Bragg will return as editor and master of ceremonies for the awards and will front a series of profile documentaries around the winners, to air on Sky Arts in the weeks following the ceremony.
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.

Broadway.com Interview
Sep. 16th, 2010 03:45 pmsoophelia.livejournal.comThe Olivier Award-winning actor Andrew Scott has had a sure, steady rise to success in the 15 years that the Dublin-born performer, now 33, has been performing professionally, first in Ireland, then England, and also on Broadway [in David Hare’s The Vertical Hour]. He's just opened at London's Old Vic Theatre as mercurial playwright Leo Mercure in Tony-winning director Anthony Page’s highly accomplished revival of Noel Coward’s Design For Living, co-starring Lisa Dillon and Tom Burke. The part and play are bringing Scott his largest London theater exposure to date, so it seemed appropriate to begin our conversation on that topic.
Broadway.com: It must be interesting to be doing a play that deals with fame and success at a time in your career when you are confronting those things yourself.
Andrew Scott: Absolutely, especially with ideas about fame and celebrity very present nowadays. The thing about Leo is that in a way he’s far too much of an artist to be interested in success. There’s that old cliché about “living by my art alone,” and I think for Leo that’s true. That’s a great difficulty for a lot of actors in that they think that in order to be artistically admired, they have to be in some way a terribly serious person. I’m more inclined to agree with Coward that it’s nice to enjoy yourself, too. Otherwise, what the hell is the point?
