Dope — a role that won him the Golden Globe in that category earlier this year. Hulu also welcomed two other nominees: Marvel movie veteran Sebastian Stan, for transforming into rocker Tommy Lee for Pam and Tommyand The Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield for playing Detective Jeb Pyre in the Mormon crime drama Under the banner of heaven.
star wars alum Oscar Isaac also picked up a nomination for starring opposite Jessica Chastain as half of an unhappy couple on HBO Scenes from a weddingand Oscar-winner Colin Firth are also on board for playing murder suspect Michael Peterson in HBO Max’s scripted adaptation of The staircase. Rounding out the pack is Himesh Patel, who wowed viewers as survivor Jeevan in HBO Max’s dystopian sci-fi series station eleven. (And hey, he was in Principle and Don’t look upso he’s no slouch either.)
