The year of Sandra Hüller continues.

Hüller is heading to the supporting actress race for “Fatherland,” Variety has confirmed exclusively. Mubi, which is handling the U.S. release of Paweł Pawlikowski’s black-and-white postwar drama, will campaign both Hüller and co-star Hanns Zischler in the supporting categories at the Oscars and across the awards circuit. The pair play Erika and Thomas Mann, the daughter and the Nobel Prize-winning author at the center of the film.
