“Artificial” isn’t hitting theaters until December, but Andrew Garfield is already sparking Oscar buzz for his performance as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Luca Guadagnino‘s tech tale, which follows the five-day period in 2023 when Altman was fired and then rehired, earned rave reviews after its world premiere at New York Film Festival last week. Both Garfield and “Anora” breakout Yura Borisov — who plays Ilya Sutskever, the OpenAI co-founder who ousted Altman — have now entered the awards race, with Garfield campaigning in supporting and Borisov in lead.
