Coming in second place, with a total of 15 nominations, was Warner Bros. Dune: Part Two.
The Denis Villeneuve sequel nominations included Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted

Netflix’s Emilia Pérez came in third with 11 nominations. Amongst the nominations are Best
Picture, Best Actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, dual Best Supporting Actress nominations for
Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana and Best Cast Ensemble, which the film won at the Cannes
Film Festival earlier this year.

Mubi’s body horror comedy The Substance also received a lot of attention from the HCA,
scoring a total of 10 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Demi Moore, Best
Supporting Actress for Margaret Qualley, and Best Director for Coralie Fargeat.
