Irish actress Jessie Buckley and British-Nigerian star Wunmi Mosaku have received Oscar nominations ahead of the March 15 Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood. Buckley earned a best actress nod for her portrayal of Agnes Hathaway in "Hamnet," while Mosaku landed a best supporting actor nomination for her performance in the vampire drama "Sinners."
Buckley is widely considered the frontrunner in her category, having already secured both a Golden Globe and Critics' Choice award. The actress faces competition from Rose Byrne for "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," Kate Hudson for "Song Sung Blue," Emma Stone for "Bugonia," and Renate Reinsve for "Sentimental Value."
The competition
Mosaku competes in the best supporting actor category against Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, both nominated for "Sentimental Value," Amy Madigan for "Weapons," and Teyana Taylor for "One Battle After Another."
Other best supporting actor nominees include Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn for "One Battle After Another," Jacob Elordi for "Frankenstein," Stellan Skarsgard for "Sentimental Value," and Delroy Lindo for "Sinners."
The Academy notably snubbed Irish star Paul Mescal, widely tipped for an Oscar nomination for his role in "Hamnet," in the supporting actor category. The film is an adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's award-winning novel, focusing on Shakespeare's family life and the death of his young son.
Other notable nominations
Radiohead star Jonny Greenwood also earned recognition with a nomination for his score for "One Battle After Another." Greenwood was previously nominated for his work on "Phantom Thread" and "The Power Of The Dog."
The Academy Awards ceremony will be hosted by Conan O'Brien and broadcast in the UK on ITV, ITVX, STV, and STV Player.
