Leading Actress will be a highly competitive field where Jessie will compete against Rose Byrne – If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Kate Hudson – Song Sung Blue, Renate Reinsve – Sentimental Value and Emma Stone – Bugonia.
Jessie said she was ‘so proud and honored’ to be nominated for her role as Agatha Shakespeare.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress said: ‘My baby is screaming in the background but I’m so excited. ‘I feel so proud and honored to be around all these extraordinary women and to be there with Hamnet. I am very pleased.’
Hamnet was nominated for eight awards in total, including the Best Picture nod and Best Director for Chloe Zhao, but Paul Mescal suffered a surprise snub in the Best Supporting Actor category.
However, Jessie believes that her own recognition ‘belongs’ to her co-star as much as it does to her, because of how much she needs it for her own performance.
When asked for his reaction to her omission, he said: ‘Yes, look, I think she’s phenomenal in this movie. I know I met a partner for life in doing this with him. I don’t know what to say other than she is the absolute one for me.
‘His art is something that will continue to grow and be the subject of many different ways. I know that what we created together is something very special to us and I hold that very dear to my heart, and there is no part of Agnes that exists without Paul.
