Olivia Colman is officially dominating British television, and we are loving it.
The empowering actress just made the top of Radio Times TV 100 list of the current, hottest stars on screen.
Her most iconic role of late has been on The Crown, playing a fiery Queen Elizabeth.
Every now and again I stop and remember that #OliviaColman is going to be Elizabeth in the new season of @TheCrownNetflix and I loose my f***ing mind because she is going to be OUTSTANDING.

The dynamic star is clearly making her way up the TV ladder with her award-winning talents and flair for winning everyone over - on and off the screen.
First known for her role on Peep Show in 2003, Olivia has gone on to appear in Broadchurch and The Night Manager as well.
The three-time BAFTA TV Award winner is clearly carving a place for herself in the film industry.
Other actors to make the list’s top ten include Idris Elba, Declan Donnelly, Vanessa Kirby, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
But none came close to the Queen’s dominating acting powers.
Andy Harries of Left Bank Pictures was over the moon for his friend’s well-deserved award.
“Olivia is a wonderful actress to watch at work, especially as The Crown’s new Queen. She is such a warm, smart, transformative actor who steps in and out of character in seconds.
“She is so professional, so winning on and off the set — Olivia is a truly exceptional British talent,” he raved.

The British actress is making waves in the entertainment world and does not plan to slow down anytime soon.
The Golden Globe winner is reportedly preparing for her upcoming roles in BBC’s Watership Down and Les Misérables.
Upon hearing of her top-list placement, Olivia humbly accepted the honour.
“Thank you so much, Radio Times, for this – it’s very, very exciting and I can’t quite believe the year ahead.”
We can’t wait to see what the legendary actress will do next.
