Christopher Plummer has now taken over for Kevin Spacey on
and off-screen.
“All the Money in the World” was nominated for
three Golden Globes on Monday morning, including one which got a lot of people
talking – Plummer’s nod for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role.
It’s been only a month since the film dropped original star
Kevin Spacey due to multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. In an
unprecedented move, “All the Money in the World” director Ridley Scott
recruited Plummer to take over Spacey’s role as J. Paul Getty in last-minute
reshoots.

Prior to the scandal, Spacey was expected to be an awards
season frontrunner for his work in the film.
In a statement to Access, Scott expressed how grateful he is
over the film’s nominations following the last-minute casting upheaval.
“Despite the unexpected challenges we encountered after
shooting was completed, we were determined that audiences around the world
would be able to see our film. Hundreds of people associated with the project
put their hearts and souls into every frame to ensure that could happen. So the
fact that we have received these wonderful acknowledgements this morning is
especially gratifying,” his statement read.
