Okay, let’s be real – as someone who follows Hollywood closely, I was a little surprised Jesse Plemons didn’t get an Oscar nod for his work in ‘Bugonia.’ I know his wife, Kirsten Dunst, wasn’t thrilled either, and honestly, I get it! He was fantastic in the role, and it’s always disappointing when great performances get overlooked. It just goes to show how competitive award season really is!
The actress, 43, showed her disapproval by sharing a post from Stavros Halkias on Instagram that criticized the omission.
A photo from social media showed Jesse Plemons’ co-star, looking upset and holding a gun directed towards the camera, from their sci-fi dark comedy thriller.
The comedian expressed their frustration with those who didn’t nominate Jesse Plemons for Best Actor, writing the message on a photo they shared.
Kirsten Dunst recently shared a clip from a podcast, praising her husband Jesse Plemons’ acting. This was one of the few times she’s spoken publicly about her family and experiences as a mother. The clip came from Ev Durán’s ‘Bluff Council Podcast,’ where Durán highlighted Plemons’ exceptional performance.
An Emmy-winning producer hailed Jesse Plemons’ performance as one of the best ever.
According to Durán, Jesse Plemons delivers a truly exceptional performance in the film – one that rivals the best work of actors like Daniel Day-Lewis and Sidney Poitier. He’s concerned it’s not getting enough attention because Timothée Chalamet’s performance, while also strong, is overshadowing it. Durán believes Plemons’ work is on another level entirely.
On January 9th, Kirsten Dunst posted a photo of Patrick Plemons from one of their movie scenes on Instagram, playfully captioning it: ‘Some seriously good stuff.’
In the movie, Jesse Plemons stars as Teddy, a man struggling with conspiracy theories and who also keeps bees. He believes the CEO of a pharmaceutical company (played by Emma Stone) is actually an alien and kidnaps her.
This year’s Best Actor nominations are Timothée Chalamet for his role in Marty Supreme, Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle After Another, Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon, Michael B. Jordan for Sinners, and Wagner Moura for The Secret Agent.
Despite the criticism, Bugonia received four other Academy Award nominations: Saoirse Ronan for Best Actress, Best Picture, Best Original Score, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Kirsten Dunst recently shared at the Red Sea International Film Festival that becoming a mother has made her a more confident and daring actor.
Actress Kirsten Dunst, known for her role in Bring It On, shares two children – Ennis, age seven, and James, age four – with her husband, Jesse Plemons. She says becoming a mother has significantly deepened her connection to and performance in her acting roles.
Becoming a parent completely changes your perspective on life. For me, it made me a much bolder actor, and I’m incredibly grateful to my children for that.
It’s also nice that when I do have time to focus on work, I can really dedicate myself to it. I think that’s true for any job as you gain experience. But this industry, more than others, can be really tough on people’s mental health.
Dunst feels fortunate to have avoided the more superficial side of Hollywood, and she credits her supportive husband for helping her navigate it all.
I feel fortunate to have amazing people around me, including my supportive husband, who help me stay grounded and avoid the superficial aspects of this industry. Their support has made a real difference.
The more authentic you are and the less you focus on what others think, the more opportunities will naturally come your way – and they’ll be the right ones for you.
