From Sally Bowles to Shakespeare: One of the banner wins at the Academy Awards ceremony on 15 March was Jessie Buckley's for Hamnet, in which she plays Shakespeare's wife, Agnes. But theatre fans, of course, will always know her as an Olivier winner for playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret in London.

The ceremony also showcased numerous actors who'll be on Broadway this spring. Best Actress nominee Rose Byrne and presenter Maya Rudolph (who reunited with Byrne and their Bridesmaids co-stars) will be in Fallen Angels and Oh, Mary!, respectively. Plus, last year's Best Actor winner and 2026 presenter Adrien Brody reprises his Olivier-nominated performance from London in The Fear of 13.
