Russian actor Yury Borisov has been nominated for an award at the 82nd Golden Globes for his role in the film โAnoraโ by American director Sean Baker.
The nominations were announced on Monday. Borisov is a candidate for โbest performance by an actor in a supporting roleโ. He will be competing against Denzel Washington for his role in Ridley Scottโs โGladiator IIโ, and Edward Norton for his part in James Mangoldโs โA Complete Unknownโ.
Baker received two nominations for โAnoraโ โ for โbest directorโ and โbest screenplayโ.
The film tells the love story between Brooklyn sex worker Anora and the son of a Russian oligarch. When the two get married, the young manโs family sets out to do everything they can to break them apart.
Borisov, 32, plays the role of Igor, a taciturn henchman of the groomโs family.
The actor graduated from the Mikhail Shchepkin Higher Theater School in 2013, but began his film acting career in 2010. He won Russiaโs Golden Eagle Award in 2021 for best leading actor in โThe Bullโ.
This yearโs Golden Globe Awards will take place on January 5 at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles, California.
