Jordan for Sinners, and Wagner Moura for The Secret Agent.

Meanwhile, the film's co-lead, Emma Stone, was nominated in the Best Actress category.

Arnold Jerocki / Getty Images Kirsten, who has been married to Jesse since 2022, took to Instagram this week to reshare a few posts that addressed Jesse's snub. Jeff Spicer / Getty Images Firstly, Kirsten reposted a story from comedian and Bugonia star Stavros Halkias, in which he is looking sternly into the camera while a photoshopped hand points a gun. The picture is captioned, "me to everyone who didn't nominate Jesse Plemmons [sic] for best actor tho." @stavvybaby2 / Via Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/stavvybaby2/?hl=en Kirsten then reposted a video from film-focused podcast The Bluff Council that saw cohost Ev Durán heaping praise onto Jesse's acting in Bugonia, while arguing that Timothée's Marty Supreme performance wasn't quite up to par. Kevin Mazur / Getty Images "Jesse Plemons gives one of the greatest performances of all time," said Ev in the video. "Jesse Plemons in this film gives Daniel Day-Lewis, Sidney Poitier, transcendent level performance that I worry is being completely overlooked for fucking Chalamet's Marty Supreme, which was a very good performance, but wasn't...what Plemons does in this movie is beyond." (C) A24 / Courtesy Everett Collection "He so fully transforms into a different person, and plays every emotion so subtly and brilliantly, without ever, like, acting. I cannot heap enough praise on it," he said. (C) Focus Features / Courtesy Everett Collection "I think the film should be beloved by everyone for that reason alone. If only," he added. Kirsten reposting this video has since sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans admitting that they found it "disappointing." "does kirsten dunst realise she can support her husband without feeling the need to shade other people? the way she's trying to undermine timmy's performance in marty supreme is just very odd," one person suggested. Kevin Mazur / Getty Images "It's so disappointing of you @kirstendunst to share this video that put Timothée Chalamet down. Jesse is a tremendous actor; he deserved a nomination. Timothée deserves his nomination," another person commented on Instagram, while someone else argued that Timmy would be "torn to shreds" if he reposted similar things about other actors. @thebluffcouncil / Via instagram.com However, many people took no issue with Kirsten's posts and instead fully supported her hyping Jesse up. "Being your partner's biggest hype person is the greenest flag," one Reddit comment said. "She's right and she should continue to say it," someone else wrote. Jc Olivera / Getty Images "we support her!" one person tweeted. "She really does not play about her husband!!" another user wrote. "kiki dunst has earned the right to be a little playfully shady on instagram you will live," someone wrote in response to people annoyed by the entire thing. Arnold Jerocki / Getty Images "Kirsten Dunst can't repost a story about her husband being snubbed but Timmy can spend the entire Marty Supreme press tour crying about how he doesn't have an Oscar yet?" another person said, referencing Timmy's divisive Oscars campaign.
