Triple Crown (UK entertainment)

Last updated

The Triple Crown is a term used in the entertainment industry to describe individuals who have won the three highest accolades recognised in British film, television, and theatre: a British Academy Film Award, a British Academy Television Award, and a Laurence Olivier Award respectively. [1]

Contents

The concept began in 1976 with the introduction of the Society of London Theatre's Laurence Olivier Award. The following year, actress Judi Dench became the first person to complete the British Triple Crown, [1] having won a British Academy Film Award 11 years prior in 1966 and a British Academy Television Award in 1968. She would go on to complete three more triple crowns. Actress Helen Mirren is the only person to have completed both the British and American triple crowns; the American equivalent consists of an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, and an Tony Award. [2] [3]
