However, surprisingly lead star Lily Gladstone failed to make the cut for Leading Actress, having been a strong contender all awards season for her acclaimed turn as Mollie Burkhart, notably winning a historic Golden Globe earlier this month. Martin Scorsese also failed to score a Director nod.
Andrew Scott was shut out for All of Us Strangers, despite being heavily favoured, though Paul Mescal has been nominated for Supporting Actor for his turn in the movie, as has Claire Foy, while Andrew Haigh is nominated for Director. The film also has Outstanding British Film, Adapted Screenplay and Casting nominations.
Greta Lee has also been snubbed for Leading Actress in Past Lives, though Teo Yoo has been nominated for Leading Actor, while movie also scored Original Screenplay and Film Not in the English Language nods.
