## Television recognition
Plemons earned his first Primetime Emmy nomination at the 68th ceremony in 2016, for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or a Movie, playing Edward "Ed" Blumquist in the second season of FX's *Fargo*[2](https://www.televisionacademy.com/bios/jesse-plemons). The same performance won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Movie Made for Television or Limited Series[4](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/jesse-plemons/bio/3000034952/).
His 2017 *Black Mirror* episode "USS Callister," in which he played programmer Robert Daly, brought a 2018 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, placing him among nominees including [Antonio Banderas](https://www.edgepedia.org/antonio-banderas), Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeff Daniels, John Legend, and [Darren Criss](https://www.edgepedia.org/darren-criss)[2](https://www.televisionacademy.com/bios/jesse-plemons).

A third Emmy nomination followed in 2023, for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, for playing Allan Gore opposite [Elizabeth Olsen](https://www.edgepedia.org/elizabeth-olsen) in [HBO Max](https://www.edgepedia.org/hbo-max)'s *Love & Death*[2](https://www.televisionacademy.com/bios/jesse-plemons). The same role was nominated at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0687146/awards/).
## Film awards and the Oscar nomination
Plemons's first major film recognition came for supporting and ensemble work: a 2018 Critics Choice nomination for *El Camino* (2020) followed later, and his turn as George in [Jane Campion](https://www.edgepedia.org/jane-campion)'s *The Power of the Dog* (2021) produced his most decorated awards season to that point. He was nominated for the 2022 [Academy Award for Best Actor](https://www.edgepedia.org/academy-award-for-best-actor) in a Supporting Role[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0687146/awards/), listed among the 94th Academy Awards nominees for the category[5](https://www.oscars.org/sites/oscars/files/94_oscars_noms_announcement.pdf), and received parallel BAFTA and Critics Choice-level nominations for the same film[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0687146/awards/). His partner [Kirsten Dunst](https://www.edgepedia.org/kirsten-dunst) was nominated alongside him for her supporting performance in the film[6](https://apnews.com/article/f1ae14991a4c3cc0da03bd39e2c20a02).
Earlier film work drew smaller-body recognition, including a Gotham Independent Film Award nomination for Best Actor for Charlie Kaufman's *I'm Thinking of Ending Things* (2020)[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0687146/awards/) and a Hollywood Critics Association Midseason Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for *Game Night* (2018)[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0687146/awards/).
## Cannes and the Lanthimos collaborations
**Kinds of Kindness.** Yorgos Lanthimos's 2024 triptych *Kinds of Kindness*, in which Plemons appears alongside [Emma Stone](https://www.edgepedia.org/emma-stone), Willem Dafoe, and [Margaret Qualley](https://www.edgepedia.org/margaret-qualley), premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where Plemons won Best Actor. The Associated Press described it at the time as the most significant individual award of his career[6](https://apnews.com/article/f1ae14991a4c3cc0da03bd39e2c20a02). The performance earned him his first Golden Globe nomination, for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, at the 2025 ceremony[3](https://goldenglobes.com/person/jesse-plemons/), where he was listed among nominees including [Jesse Eisenberg](https://www.edgepedia.org/jesse-eisenberg), Hugh Grant, Gabriel LaBelle, Glen Powell, and Sebastian Stan[7](https://apnews.com/article/dc0b977892c97da527e61cd1bd7b585b).
**Bugonia.** Plemons reteamed with Lanthimos for *Bugonia* (2025), playing Teddy, a conspiracy theorist who kidnaps Emma Stone's CEO character[8](https://apnews.com/article/1d503fb445dee459160971d95b40a346). The role produced his densest awards season: nominations for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy at the 2026 Golden Globes[3](https://goldenglobes.com/person/jesse-plemons/), for Best Leading Actor at the 2026 EE BAFTA Film Awards[9](https://www.bafta.org/awards/film/leading-actor/), and for Male Actor in a Leading Role at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards presented by [SAG-AFTRA](https://www.edgepedia.org/sag-aftra)[10](https://www.actorawards.org/sites/default/files/2026%20Actor%20Awards_Fast%20Facts.pdf), along with Satellite Award and Critics Choice Super Award nominations[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0687146/awards/).
## The 2026 season outcomes
At the 83rd Golden Globes, held January 11, 2026, the Musical or Comedy acting award went to [Timothée Chalamet](https://www.edgepedia.org/timothee-chalamet) for *Marty Supreme*, with Plemons among the six nominees[11](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2026-01-11/timothee-chalamet-golden-globes-winner-marty-supreme). At the 2026 EE BAFTA Film Awards, Robert Aramayo won Leading Actor for *I Swear*, with Plemons among the runners-up[12](https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/winners-announced-2026-film-awards/). Plemons did not receive a corresponding Best Actor nomination at the 98th Academy Awards, a widely noted omission given his Globe, BAFTA, and Actor Awards nominations for the same performance[8](https://apnews.com/article/1d503fb445dee459160971d95b40a346). The Associated Press called the snub a head-scratcher and observed that, as one of the prominent character actors of his generation, he had to that point been nominated for an Oscar only once, for *The Power of the Dog*[8](https://apnews.com/article/1d503fb445dee459160971d95b40a346).
