Everyone thought Kristen Stewart‘s shot at a Best Actress nomination was toast. Spencer is roundly despised so how did she pull it off? Variety‘s Owen Gleiberman called it, I suspect, when he posted a 1.15.22 column titled “Why SAG’s Best Actress Snub May Have Done Kristen Stewart a Favor.”
The idea was that KStew‘s post-SAG-snub underdog status would create a different dynamic, and would wipe out some of the hostility that seems to follow her everywhere.
You also have to consider the apparent fact that the once-seemingly-unstoppable Lady Gaga seemed to almost torpedo herself.
HE commenter “adam,” posted an hour or so ago: “I do wonder if the actors roundtable sunk Lady Gaga’s chances. It was completely tone-deaf and all a little bit ‘why am I so brilliant and working at a 100 when all of the rest you are only working at 70 and not quite at my level?'”
