Olivier nominations happening this Monday - what are you guys predicting?

I think Gypsy will sweep at the noms, getting a lot of the creative category nominations too like set design, costume design, best director, I also think the music staff will be nommed for Achievement in Music. Then Staunton and Pulver will be nominated obviously...

What about Guys and Dolls - are all four leads sure fire nominees, or just Sophie Thompson and Jamie Parker perhaps?
