Buckley’s co-star Paul Mescal, who plays Shakespeare, is nominated in the supporting actor category alongside Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn for their roles in One Battle After Another, Jacob Elordi for his role in Frankenstein, Adam Sandler for his role in Jay Kelly and Stellan Skarsgard for Sentimental Value.
