Oscars 2018: First-Time Nominee Spotlight6 of 18
Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Category: Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role
With close to 100 IMDb credits and 30 years on screen, some may be surprised this is Rockwell’s first Oscar nod. But while acclaimed performances in Moon (2009) and The Way Way Back (2013), were overlooked by the Academy, it is likable Rockwell’s performance as the deplorable Dixon in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri that has drawn awards attention. After picking up the Golden Globe and BAFTA, Rockwell may score the hat trick.
