The star was nominated for Golden Globe, Critics' Choice and SAG awards, though has been what many would call snubbed by the British Academy in his native U.K.

In recent weeks The Crown’s Josh O’Connor has been the bookies’ favourite but the latest odds has Kraven the Hunter star Aaron Taylor-Johnson retaking the top spot. According to Betfred, the latter is once again the favourite on 6-4 in joint first with The Gentleman’s Theo James.

Oscar-nominated director Luca Guadagnino, known from his recent works in Queer and Challengers, will reportedly work on a DC war film now with James Bond star Daniel Craig.

English actor Daniel Craig has left an indelible mark on Hollywood's film industry, starring in leading roles such as Detective Benoit Blanc in the Knives Out movies and Lee in the recently released Queer.

From the top-notch acting to the clever directorial flourishes by writer and director William Boyd, this war movie fully stands up to scrutiny.

Daniel Craig could find himself in awards contention for his new movie Queer, which is now available to watch at home. Luca Guadagnino is based on William S Burroughs' novella of the same name and sees Craig play Lee, an American expat in Mexico City who becomes infatuated with former soldier Eugene (Drew Starkey).

Based on the novel of the same name by Willam S. Burroughs, Queer tells the story of William Lee (Craig), a United States expatriate living in Mexico City who becomes obsessed with another young American named Eugene Allerton ( Drew Starkey ).

Daniel Craig is a lead actor contender for his performance in 'Queer.' But the film is unlikely to scale the box-office heights of his Bond movies.

Next James Bond odds have been slashed on a new favourite in the bookies' race to replace Daniel Craig as the new 007.

Oscars best actor predictions include Ralph Fiennes, Daniel Craig, Adrien Brody, Timothee Chalamet, Colman Domingo and Paul Mescal.

As he travels the globe promoting Queer in a succession of increasingly fashion-forward looks, one constant has been his rotating arsenal of jumbo eyewear – some with thick frames, some without, some with tinted lenses, and some that are proper sunglasses.

Saoirse Ronan and Hugh Grant make surprise appearances on the shortlist, ahead of the awards ceremony next month.
