"Despite having been seen hundreds, thousands of times together in photographs, at events and on red carpets, Dakota and Elle Fanning have never shared time on-screen. They're actresses. They're sisters. They're stars who have been nominated for elite awards and who have worked with the best performers and directors in the world."
"Elle is shining most brightly at 27. She's the first of the pair to be nominated for an Oscar. She's in the running for the statuette thanks to Norwegian director Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value, in which she plays a Hollywood star who sets out to film a foreign movie. Essentially, she arrived on the Mt. Olympus of acting by playing herself."
"It's likely Elle is aware that she will probably not take home the prize. But also, that she's not too concerned about it. There are various reasons for this perceived calm. First, because she's the youngest of the five nominees. Already with a vaunted career of more than 70 projects, she has time—decades, even—for her moment to come."
Dakota and Elle Fanning are sisters who have built successful acting careers spanning decades, yet have never appeared together on-screen. Dakota, 32, was the first to establish herself in the industry, while Elle, 27, is currently experiencing significant recognition. Elle received her first Oscar nomination for her performance in Norwegian director Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value, where she plays a Hollywood actress filming a foreign movie. She competes in the Best Supporting Actress category against strong contenders including Wunmi Mosaku, Amy Madigan, and Teyana Taylor. Despite the competitive field, Elle appears unbothered by the outcome, likely due to her young age and already extensive filmography of over 70 projects. The sisters maintain a grounded approach to their careers and lives, remaining relatively unaffected by industry pressures despite their decades-long presence in Hollywood.
