Last month, she was among the Best Supporting Actress nominees at the Oscars for her performance in The Lost Daughter.
Cabaret won seven honours at the Olivier Awards, including Eddie Redmayne for Best Actor in a Musical.
At the ceremony, he praised his co-star, saying he wouldn’t have taken on the role of the Emcee without Jessie Buckley agreeing to be his co-star.
