Sheridan Smith has got to be one of the best young female actors in the UK at the moment. Her acting is superb. If you saw her in the biopic of Cilla you would know what I mean. She has won several awards for her stage performances and has done a lot of work for charities behind the scenes. Well worth it in my opinion.
As Lynne said, people have to be nominated. If no one nominates then no award. The question also has to be asked, has Dalglish been nominated in the past but refused an award? Many people have refused awards over the years.
