"Stellan Skarsgard has joked that it's gloves off when it comes to his rivalry with his son Alexander this awards season. The 74-year-old Swedish actor has drawn plaudits for his performance in Joachim Trier's family drama Sentimental Value. Meanwhile, his 49-year-old eldest son has also earned rave reviews for his turn in BDSM biker romance Pillion. Both men are expected to be in contention in the Best Supporting Actor category this awards season. They were both nominated in that category at this month's Gotham Awards. Unlike other major awards shows, the Gothams do not divide the category by gender and the prize went to Sinners star Wunmi Mosaku."

"During a joint interview conducted before that ceremony as part of Variety's Actors on Actors series, Alexander said: People believe that it's all going to be chummy and dad and son support each other. Which we are to a certain extent. Stellan responded: There are limits, before adding: Now it's gloves off."
