Kodi SmitMcPhee is also nominated for his supporting role.

Since the nominations were announced, the movie climbed to Netflix’s weekly Top 10 chart and, as of February 18, it’s the number one film in Campion’s native New Zealand as well as in Croatia, Greece, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
The revisionist Western is set in 1925 on a wealthy ranch in Montana, although it was shot on location on the South Island of New Zealand. Cumberbatch and Plemons play brothers Phil and George Burbank. Phil is a bullish and domineering cowboy and cattle rancher who’s set in his ways and not very fond of soap and water. George is a sensitive soul who takes care of the family business’ finances. George proposes to the widow Rose Dunst and she moves to the ranch only to be tortured and ridiculed by Phil. Understandably, she doesn’t take well to living in Phil’s company. Her young adult son, Peter SmitMcPhee, realizes this and — even though he’s been repeatedly and cruelly made fun of by Phil in the past — befriends.
