Two couples of actors are nominated for Oscars this year and are claiming trophies at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Awards March 27.
Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, who have been married since 2010, are nominated for Oscars for Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively.
Bardem won the nomination for his role in “Being the Ricardos” and Cruz for her role in Pedro Almodovar’s “Parallel Mothers”.
Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, who got engaged in 2017, are nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor respectively for Jane Cambion’s “The Power of the Dog.”
In the adaptation of Thomas Savage’s 1967 novel of the same name by Jane Campion, Jesse Plemons stars as George Burbank, Phil Burbank’s long-time brother, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Kristen Dunst plays Rose Gordon, who marries George and moves to the Burbank Ranch in Montana, USA.
Kirsten Dunst told Variety that she had to inform her partner of the news that they were both candidates, as he was working, when the nominations were announced.
“I called Jesse and I was the first to tell him and he was a little shocked,” she said. “I mean, it’s so crazy to be a couple and have our first nominations together. It’s like a fairy tale. You know what I mean; It’s so weird. “It’s amazing,” said the American actress.
