Judas and the Black Messiah s distributor Warner Bros. campaigning for Stanfield to be nominated for Best Actor and Kaluuya for Best Supporting Actor.
This is according to their own website. On the Warner Bros. For Your Consideration page, Stanfield is listed under best actor, while Kaluuya is under best-supporting actor alongside co-star Jesse Plemons.

In October 1947, the ‘Hollywood Ten’ were summoned before the House Un-American Activities Committee in Washington DC – part of an investigation into the influence of communism in the movie business.

Well-meaning liberals from the Hollywood elite – including Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Danny Kaye, Judy Garland, Edward G.

Members of the group, led by Bogart and Bacall, flew to DC to attend the hearings.
