This year, the nominees for Best Actor are Will Smith for King Richard, Javier Bardem for Being the Ricardos, Andrew Garfield for Tick…Tick…BOOM!, Benedict Cumberbatch for The Power of the Dog and Denzel Washington for The Tragedy of Macbeth.
The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are J.K. Simmons for Being the Ricardos, Troy Kotsur for CODA, Ciaran Hinds for Belfast, and Kodi Smit-McPhee and Jesse Plemons both for The Power of the Dog.
