Sherlock Holmes on shortlist for new South Bank awards

12 April 2012

The BBC's new Sherlock, Steve Coogan and Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery are among contenders for the new South Bank Show awards being revived by Sky Arts.

Nominees announced today also include Mike Leigh's latest film Another Year, the Evening Standard Theatre Awards' best play, Clybourne Park, and the madcap British premiere of opera A Dog's Heart at ENO.

The Sky Arts channel stepped in to keep the South Bank Show awards going after ITV pulled the plug on its culture show and associated prize-giving last year.

The South Bank Sky Arts Awards ceremony will be at The Dorchester on January 25 and the theme tune to the show, which ran for more than 30 years, will be revived.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is writing a new variation on Paganini's 24th Caprice for his brother, cellist Julian, to perform. Anish Kapoor is designing the award.

Dockery, 28, is nominated for the breakthrough honour and Coogan for his reincarnation as Alan Partridge online.
