Some awards-watchers were also doubting whether lead Renate Reinsve would be given a best actress nod. Finally, songwriter Diane Warren already held the record for the most Oscar nominations without a competitive win. Element’s film, Bugonia, received four nominations in total: best picture, best actress, best original score and best adapted screenplay. Never mind the surefire nomination, can we just crown Jessie Buckley as best actress winner now? Is her Hamnet co-star Paul Mescal destined to collect his second Oscar nomination, this time in the best supporting actor category?
