Other first time film performance nominees in the leading actress category include British star Cynthia Erivo for musical The Wizard Of Oz prequel Wicked, Mikey Madison for playing a stripper who falls for a Russian oligarch’s son in Anora, and Hollywood actress Demi Moore for body horror The Substance.
Also competing in this category is British actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste for comedy drama Hard Truths and Saoirse Ronan for The Outrun, the film based on the 2016 memoir of journalist Amy Liptrot about struggles with alcoholism, revitalising her awards campaign after missing out on other major nominations.
