Jessie Buckley is expected to win best actress for her role in "Hamnet," while "Sinner" is nominated for best actor. The remaining top categories have no clear frontrunner. The winners will be chosen by the roughly 10,000 actors, producers, directors, and ‘film craftspeople’ who make up the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
