LOS ANGELES (WPVI) — 6ABC is counting down to the Oscars with a look at the nominees.
Entertainment experts say this year’s Best Actress category is heavily led by Jessie Buckley for her role in “Hamnet”.
She’s up against two-time Best Actress winner Emma Stone, who earned her seventh nomination for “Bugonia”.
There are two first time nominees, Rose Byrne for “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” and Renate Reinsve for the Norwegian film “Sentimental Value”.
Meanwhile, Kate Hudson got her second nomination for “Song Sung Blue”.
Hugh Jackman and Hudson play Mike and Claire Sardina, a real-life Milwaukee couple who found love and fame performing as a popular Neil Diamond tribute band.
