He was also nominated for best actor in 2021 for his performance in The Sound Of Metal, for his portrayal of a heavy metal drummer beginning to go deaf.
Williams is known for her performances in US comedy series Girls, as well as psychological thriller Get Out and recent horror/ sci-fi film M3GAN.
The nominations will take place from 1.30pm UK time.
Earlier this month, the Academy announced that 301 films are eligible for this year’s awards, which will take place in March.
The number has increased from 276 last year, but is lower than the 366 eligible in 2020, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
Expected contenders include The Banshees Of Inisherin, Everything Everywhere All At Once and The Fabelmans, all of which have scooped multiple nominations for previous awards.
