Overview
- The Academy left Jesse Plemons off this year’s Best Actor list, which features Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Michael B. Jordan, and Wagner Moura.
- Kirsten Dunst reposted co-star Stavros Halkias’s Instagram meme expressing frustration with those who did not nominate Plemons.
- She also shared a Bluff Council podcast clip in which Ev Durán calls Plemons’ turn in Bugonia “one of the greatest performances of all time.”
- Bugonia received Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Actress (Emma Stone), Adapted Screenplay (Will Tracy), and Original Score (Jerskin Fendrix).
- Plemons had collected Best Actor nominations from SAG, the Golden Globes, and the Astra Awards this season; his only Oscar nomination remains a 2022 Supporting Actor nod for The Power of the Dog, when Dunst was also nominated in Supporting Actress.
