The drama, starring Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce as Popes Benedict XVI and Francis, is up for top film, while the veterans have both been honored with acting nods, and director Fernando Meirelles and screenwriter Anthony McCarten have each landed mentions, too.

"The Two Popes" will go up against "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood", "Bombshell", "Little Women (2019)", "Marriage Story", "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", "The Farewell", and "The Irishman" for the top film prize, while "The Irishman" star Robert De Niro will compete with Pryce for the Best Actor award, and Al Pacino will fight over Best Supporting Actor with Hopkins, among others.

De Niro and Pacino's gangster thriller has scored a handful of nominations, as has Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" and "Little Women (2019)".
