As Hollywood processes this year’s Oscar snubs and surprises, Kirsten Dunst is prepared to write in one overlooked performance.
Following Thursday’s Academy Award nominations announcement, the actress shared a meme from her husband’s Bugonia co-star Stavros Halkias in support of Plemons’ performance in the Yorgos Lanthimos-helmed film.
“Me to everyone who didn’t nominate Jesse Plemons for best actor tho,” wrote Halkias with a selfie featuring a sticker of a hand holding a gun at the camera.

In Bugonia, Plemons plays conspiracy theorist Teddy, who devises a plan with his cousin Don (Aidan Delbis) to kidnap a powerful CEO (Emma Stone), whom he is convinced is an alien with plans to take over the world.
Plemons was previously nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards earlier this month, but the award ultimately went to Timothée Chalamet for his performance in Marty Supreme.
In 2022, Plemons received his first Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actor in The Power of the Dog, the Netflix film that also got Dunst nominated for the first time in the Best Supporting Actress category.
