In summary: Actress Nicole Kidman, known for her role in “Babygirl,” gave an intense performance as a woman exploring her sensual side following an affair with her intern, and Daniel Craig, star of “Queer,” delivered a powerful portrayal of a lovelorn gay man expressing his emotions physically rather than verbally. Despite their efforts, neither actor received a nomination. The critically acclaimed films “Challengers,” led by Zendaya, and “Nosferatu” were also overlooked; the former was expected to compete for its dynamic score and daring screenplay, but failed to get in, while the latter, a visually stunning portrayal of desire near death’s edge, did not receive the Best Picture nomination some anticipated.
