-A quartet supplemented by Sebastian Stan, appointed for his disturbing portrait of the Youth years of Donald Trump, in The Apprentice. The film has been the subject of prosecution threats from Donald Trump's lawyers, especially because of a scene where we see the new President of the United States ranging his wife. The Academy thus sends a committed message, a few days after the inauguration of the 47th American president. The voters “could send a political message”, predicted before the appointments the chronicler Pete Hammond of the Deadline site. This was confirmed, with the appointment of Jeremy Strong, who embodies in the film Roy Cohn, lawyer without faith or mentor of Donald Trump. The ceremony is to take place on March 2 in Los Angeles.
