Nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television for Fellow Travelers
Matt Bomer truly deserves all the accolades for his performance in #FellowTravelers Hawk Fuller is a complex and original character we've never seen before on screen. Going into this role he literally had nowhere to pull from but within himself to bring this character to life..— ~~~~ (@plasticdreamss_) January 1, 2024
What Matt Bomer and Johnathan Bailey had in Fellow Travelers goes beyond on-screen chemistry. They broke my brain. It's one of the most compelling lead pairings I've ever seen, and I will be returning to relive the alchemy for years to come.— Kifo Mungu (@TheAddlepate) December 27, 2023
Colman Domingo
Nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for Rustin
I don't see nearly enough praise for Colman Domingo in Rustin. I've been a fan for a long time but this feels like his "I'm here" moment. Nobody can ignore how great this man is anymore! pic.twitter.com/T1rokFQtRW— Curtis (@cinematiccurtis) December 31, 2023

Billie Eilish
Nominated for Best Original Song – Motion Picture for Barbie’s “What Was I Made For?”
Billie Eilish’s “What was I made for” makes me scream in the most inhuman way that I didn’t know I was even capable of. Every word is like a punch to my gut— ?????? (@jusmooo) December 27, 2023

Nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for Nyad
Finishing Nyad, and Jodie Foster is just so damn excellent.— Josh Halstead (@JoshHalstead) December 28, 2023
Watched Nyad — I could watch Jodie Foster stir soup. Also loved seeing women my age kicking ass even as thy were getting their asses kicked. 3.8/5 pic.twitter.com/PirChknYNS— Gwynne (@gwynnek) December 30, 2023
Just watched the film about Diana Nyad – Jodie Foster and Annette Bening are superb!— engteacherabroad (@engteacherabro2) December 30, 2023
Lily Gladstone
Nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for Killers of the Flower Moon
Had been putting off watching Killers of the Flower Moon – mostly due to the 3.5 hour run time but just finished it and wow.
Lily Gladstone, what a performance.— Cllr Kurtis Dickson (@kurtis_dickson) December 31, 2023
just rewatched Killers of the Flower Moon for a second time, and yup, I’m officially on team Lily Gladstone for Best Actress pic.twitter.com/PhtEtnW4uL— bryan with a y (@brybeja) December 27, 2023
Lily Gladstone's performance in KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON is haunting. Days after watching that film I'm still thinking about it. Left such an impression on me. Once-in-a-generation kind of role. pic.twitter.com/yUz4tm9gsN— Christopher Marc (@_ChristopherM) January 2, 2024
Andrew Scott
Nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for All of Us Strangers
I think it’s going to be a while before I recover from ALL OF US STRANGERS!The film tackles such topics as grief, longing, acceptance, & the traumas that haunt us. In a just world, Andrew Scott would be nominated for Best Actor. Mescal, Foy, & Bell are perfect! #FilmTwitterpic.twitter.com/WTLIx5H2iO— Joshua G (@blueyedguy86) December 30, 2023
Please, please go watch All of Us Strangers. Deeply healing, incredibly emotional, phenomenally shot.
Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal's performances are both devastatingly moving.
Nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Drama for The Last of Us (though Ramsey is nonbinary)
Why is Bella Ramsey in The Last of Us literally the most charming lovely human being? I bet they are so fucking cool irl— Sue Gamma-Beach (@zegemabch) December 31, 2023
Now that I’ve watched The Last of Us, I can say that it’s a good show with a great performance from Bella Ramsey. I am unsure if they’ve entered themselves into contention for an Emmy or not (since categories are gendered), but if they have… they 100% deserve a nomination. pic.twitter.com/bDPiXyMvFr— ??????? sunny day ?? (@littlelostsunny) July 12, 2023
I finally finished The Last of Us (the show) & wow, amazing. Not as good as the game but still moving. Pedro Pascal & Bella Ramsey were perfect, they freaking owned it, man. Bella Ramsey’s going to be a star. Excellent in a small role in GoT & great in Catherine Called Birdy.— Michael Vazquez (@MichaelV11391) August 18, 2023
Nominated for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television for Wanda Sykes: I’m an Entertainer
