Lady Gaga rises in the Best Actress race
I should not have underestimated House of Gucci (though it is a blind spot for me since I have yet to see it for myself). But given the fact that it was the only adult audience film that did anything at the box office last year, of course it was going to be acknowledged. I’m thinking it gets into Best Picture for sure now, which means that Lady Gaga, believe it or not, has a real chance to win the Oscar for Best Actress. But Nicole Kidman appears to be a threat as well. Kristen Stewart is not however, as her “shocking” snub this morning (not so shocking if you’ve actually seen that terrible film) means she’s fighting for a nomination in the category. I think there’s a real chance she misses entirely for someone like Penelope Cruz or maybe Jennifer Hudson, who took the slot here at SAG.
