"Marty Supreme" from A24 is currently receiving a lot of buzz. The new film by Josh Safdie has been nominated nine times. After his Golden Globes win, Timothée Chalamet is considered the favorite for the award for Actor in a Leading Role. Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" and "Sentimental Value" with Stellan Skarsgård also received nine nominations. The emotional drama "Hamnet" should not be underestimated.
