Um... what the hell is going on with these two nominations??

 

Best Actress in a Musical

"The Girls" - Debbie Chazen, Sophie-Louise Dann, Michele Dotrice, Claire Machin, Claire Moore and Joanna Riding - for The Girls at Phoenix Theatre

 

Best Actress in a Supporting Role

Melissa Allan, Caroline Deyga, Kirsty Findlay, Karen Fishwick, Kirsty MacLaren, Frances Mayli McCann, Joanne McGuinness and Dawn Sievewright for Our Ladies Of Perpetual Succour at National Theatre - Dorfman

 

Please tell me that I just don't know about some rule that the real meaning of the 'actress' category is to actually honor all such roles in a show and not an individual performer? This is so weird. They're not sharing and alternating in a role like the Matildas! This is RIDICULOUS.
