**LOS ANGELES** – Actor Sebastian Stan, known for his roles in “Gossip Girl” and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has received his first Oscar nomination for his performance as a young Donald Trump in the film “The Apprentice.” The movie, released October 11th, 2024, depicts Trump’s rise in the 1970s and 80s.
Stan is nominated in the “Actor in a Leading Role” category, competing against Adrian Brody, Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, and Ralph Fiennes.
