Days after being nominated for a Golden Globe, Margot Robbie has also received a nomination at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
While it’s not a given, the two nods – both for her performance in I, Tonya – are a hint she’ll receive an Oscar nomination when the Academy Awards nominees are announced next month.
The 27-year-old was nominated in the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role category.
She will go up against Judi Dench for her role in Victoria & Abdul, Sally Hawkins for The Shape of Water, Frances McDormand for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Saoirse Ronan, for Ladybird.
She wasn’t the only Australian to be recognised in the SAG Awards; Nicole Kidman earned a nomination for Big Little Lies, and Geoffrey Rush got one for Genius.
I, Tonya is a dark comedy based on true events of the 90s, when figure skating champion Nancy Kerrigan was attacked with a bat outside a Detroit skating rink.
Despite the injury – her right leg was bruised but not broken – she went on to compete at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Norway and won silver, while Harding came eighth.
It was subsequently revealed that Tonya’s now ex-husband and her bodyguard hired a hitman to attack Kerrigan, and that Tonya was aware of it and conspired with them.
Harding was later stripped of her medals and banned from the sport as a result.
I, Tonya is scheduled for an Australian release on January 25.
