Who's Nominated? - The Shows

RedNominated for 7 Awards
Master American expressionist Mark Rothko (Alfred Molina) has just landed the biggest commission in the history of modern art. But when his young assistant (Eddie Redmayne) gains the confidence to challenge him, Rothko faces the agonizing possibility that his crowning achievement could also become his undoing. John Logan's play is a searing portrait of an artist's ambition and vulnerability as he tries to create a definitive work for an extraordinary setting.
