Many viewers hope that Gyllenhaal’s upcoming film will earn him another chance for an Academy Award nomination. The last time he was nominated for a movie was in “Brokeback Mountain.”
He was nominated for best supporting actor, but the award went to George Clooney. However, “Brokeback Mountain” scored three Academy Award wins for directing, adapted screenplay, and original score.
Gyllenhaal, despite his critical acclaim, has not received as many Awards for his powerful roles. One of his notable films, “Nightcrawler,” also failed to earn him an Academy Award nomination.
Although he could not get a nomination for the Academy Award, he did receive nominations from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and Screen Actors Guild and Critics Choice.
Meanwhile, aside from his moving performances in films, Gyllenhaal recently caught fans’ attention with his new Luna Rossa Ocean ad under the luxury brand Prada, which proves he is a multi-faceted star.
The “Velvet Buzzsaw” star rides a boat in the middle of a dark ocean in the campaign video. The Luna Rossa sailing team inspires Prada’s new perfume and ad in Italy.
