Veteran Hollywood actor Denzel Washington has experienced enough Academy Award contention over the years for the 2025 nominations to leave him unfazed. Denzel has now addressed the Academy’s decision to overlook his performance in Gladiator II in the Best Supporting Actor category during a recent interview with The New York Times.

Oh, I’m so upset,” he said before revealing he had his hands full while preparing for the titular role of Othello based on William Shakespeare’s iconic play, on Broadway. “I was sitting there smiling [on nomination morning], going: ‘Look at you.

But Felicity attributes her limited screentime to the narrative choice of making the audience feel the weight of the waiting her and Adrien Brody’s characters have to endure before they can reunite. In fact, that’s exactly what drew her to the story. Felicity Jones has been nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for The Brutalist at Oscars 2025.
