British actors Ralph Fiennes and Daniel Craig will go head-to-head for a gong at the Golden Globes on Sunday, with operatic musical Emilia Perez heading into the ceremony having dominated nominations. Fiennes led the pack for best male actor in a motion picture drama for his portrayal of a conflicted priest overseeing a papal election in Conclave, contending with Craig in Luca Guadagnino’s romance Queer – where he plays an American living in 1950s Mexico who falls in love with a young student.
The pair feature in the category alongside Timothee Chalamet with his imitation of folk singer Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown; Sebastian Stan for his role as Donald Trump in The Apprentice; Adrien Brody as a Hungarian architect attempting to build a life in the US after the Second World War in The Brutalist, and Colman Domingo for Sing Sing – about a man imprisoned for a crime he did not commit who finds purpose by acting in a theatre group.
Meanwhile British star Kate Winslet will compete with other Hollywood actresses in the lead actress motion picture drama category for her turn as model turned war correspondent Elizabeth Miller in Lee, alongside Angelina Jolie as late opera star Maria Callas in the self-titled biopic and Nicole Kidman in erotic thriller Babygirl.
Winslet was also nominated for best female actor in a limited series, anthology series or a motion picture made for television for The Regime, where she plays a dictator ruling over a fictional Central European country. Leading nominations ahead of the 82nd Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles was Emilia Perez – a film about a Mexican drug lord who changes gender.
