Kirsten Dunst subtly reacts to husband Jesse Plemons’ Oscar snub



With great marriage comes great responsibility.

Kirsten Dunst couldn’t help but subtly support her husband Jesse Plemons after he did not receive an Oscar nomination for his performance in “Bugonia.”

After the nominations were announced on Thursday, the “Bring It On” star, 43, reposted an Instagram Story from “Bugonia” actor Stavros Halkias.

The picture showed the comic, 36, with an angry look on his face and someone else’s hand with a gun pointed at the camera.

“Me to everyone who didn’t nominate Jesse Plemmons [sic] for Best Actor tho,” Halkias captioned the shot.

Dunst then posted a clip from the “Bluff Council Podcast” where host Ev Durán was praising Plemons, 37, for his performance in the comedy sci-fi.

“Jesse Plemons gives one of the greatest performances of all time,” the film producer explained. “Jesse Plemons in this film gives [a] Daniel Day-Lewis–, Sidney Poitier–level transcendent performance that I worry is being completely overlooked for f—in’ Chalamet’s ‘Marty Supreme,; which was a very good performance, but wasn’t — what Plemons does in this movie is beyond.”

Earlier this month, Dunst shared a snap of her other half in the film.

“Some top-level s—,” she captioned the pic.

Along with Chalamet, 30, the Best Actor category includes: Leonardo DiCaprio (“One Battle After Another”), Ethan Hawke (“Blue Moon”), Michael B. Jordan in “Sinners” and Wagner Moura for “The Secret Agent.”

However, the movie did snag a Best Picture nomination. Stone, 37, is also up for Best Actress.

Aside from the Academy Awards, Plemons earned a Best Actor nod from both the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards.

Earlier this month, Chalamet took home the Golden Globe.

In 2022, Plemons earned his first and only Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in “The Power of the Dog.”

Dunst also received her only Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the western romance.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2022 and share sons Ennis, 7, and James, 4, have both worked steadily in Hollywood for years.

Dunst shot to stardom in 1994 with her breakout role in “Interview with the Vampire.”

In October, she revealed the key to her longevity, telling People: “Good friends and good family.”

The “Roofman” star also shed light on how it feels to still be working in television and film years later.

“I think that I just feel very proud that I can keep doing films that I want to do,” Dunst confessed, “and that […] the industry has embraced me still and keeps doing so. I really appreciate growing up, finding my path and being part of making movies that mean a lot to me.”

Plemons, meanwhile, got his big break as Landry Clarke on the hit NBC series ‘Friday Night Lights.”

The actor starred on the drama for all five seasons, from 2006 to 2011.

Now, fans can expect a reboot of the beloved show.

“I’ll be first in line to watch it. I hope it’ll be done right,” “FNL” star Taylor Kitsch told The Post last year.

The star, 44, added that he’s not reprising his role as Tim Riggins.

“I wish them all the best, really. I’m as curious as everyone else.”
