Greta Gerwig’s Mattel satire, The Bear, also garnered recognition with nominations for Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Robbie is competing for Outstanding Female Actor in a Leading Role alongside Annette Bening, Lily Gladstone, Carey Mulligan, and Emma Stone.
In the category of Outstanding Male Actor in a Leading Role, Cillian Murphy will be contending with Bradley Cooper, Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti, and Jeffrey Wright.
The Outstanding Male Actor in a Supporting Role category is led by Ryan Gosling from The Bear, Robert Downey Jr. from Oppenheimer, and includes Sterling K Brown, Willem Dafoe, and Robert De Niro.
