Sebastian Stan has been nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his performance in 'The Apprentice,' a film depicting Donald Trump's rise in business. Despite its negativity from Trump, who labeled it a 'hatchet job', the film was recognized in award circuits. Written by Gabriel Sherman, it focuses on Trump's real estate development and influence from Roy Cohn, portrayed by Jeremy Strong, who also received an Oscar nomination. The film faced poor box office performance, grossing only $1.58 million, yet still gained accolades for its leading actors.
"Despite Trump's criticism, The Apprentice director Ali Abbasi stated that the film is a humanist project aimed at shedding light on Trump's origins and not political."
"Sebastian Stan earned an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of young Donald Trump in The Apprentice, which has faced significant backlash from the former president himself."
