Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk is the second with eight nominations, though most of them (except Best Picture) are for technical features. The mentioned above Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri received seven nominations, including 2 (Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell) for an Actor in a Supporting Role, Actress in a Leading Role (Francis McDormand), Original Screenplay and Original Score, though no nomination for Directing.
