British stars Ralph Fiennes and Cynthia Erivo have earned best acting Oscar nods, as the Academy Awards unveiled nominations on Thursday.
Fiennes, who is nominated for Conclave, will face off against Adrien Brody for immigrant tale The Brutalist, Timothee Chalamet for Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown and Colman Domingo for Sing Sing, about prisoners becoming part of a theatre group, at the Oscars ceremony in March.
Sebastian Stan is also up for the category for playing Donald Trump before he became the US president in The Apprentice.
The nominations for the 97th Oscars were announced on Thursday at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Los Angeles, after being postponed twice amid the wildfires in Los Angeles.
Fiennes was last nominated in 1997 for his leading role as a Hungarian pilot and desert explorer in The English Patient, which came after his first nod in 1994 for war drama Schindler's List, where he played an Austrian Nazi official.
Up for a best actress Oscar is Erivo, who secured her second acting Oscar nod for musical The Wizard Of Oz prequel Wicked, along with new nominations for Mikey Madison for playing a stripper who falls for a Russian oligarch's son in Anora, and Hollywood actress Demi Moore for body horror The Substance.
Spanish star Karla Sofia Gascon, who became the first transgender actress to be nominated, is also nominated in the category alongside Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres for Portuguese-language film I'm Still Here, about a mother coping with the disappearance of her husband in 1970s authoritarian Brazil.
In the supporting actor categories, The Brutalist's Felicity Jones has landed her second Oscar nomination as former Succession stars Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin secured their first Academy Awards nods.
Netflix's Spanish-language musical Emilia Perez is the top-nominated film at this year’s Oscars, followed by The Brutalist and Wicked.
Emilia Perez, the story of a Mexican drug lord who transitions to a woman and starts a new life, earned 13 nominations.
The Brutalist, about a Holocaust survivor chasing the American dream, and The Wizard of Oz prequel Wicked picked up 10 nods each.
The Academy Awards ceremony will take place on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with first-time host Conan O'Brien taking over the helm this year.
British TV presenter Jonathan Ross will return as host of ITV's Oscars companion show this March for the second year running, accompanied by celebrity guests and film experts to discuss nominated films on the night.
