The Screen Actors Guild announced their annual awards nominations this morning, and Lady Gaga managed to score a Best Actress nomination, while Kristen Stewart found herself out in the cold.
The announcement marks the latest in Hollywood’s “Gold Derby” race; that is, the series of major awards culminating in the Oscars this March 27. Stewart and Gaga fans have declared war on one another since the fall when both actresses appeared in high-profile awards bait films, Gaga in House of Gucci and Stewart in Spencer.

Seriously. We’ve even received back-and-forth hate mail from Gaga and Stewart fans trying to smear one another here at Queerty.
For the moment, however, Gaga fans enjoy a victory, as House of Gucci nabbed three nominations–including one for Gaga as Best Actress–while Spencer was completely ignored. House of Gucci also netted a nomination for Best Ensemble Cast (SAG’s equivalent of Best Picture), as well as a nod for Best Supporting Actor Jared Leto.
Moreover, the SAG Awards are regarded within showbiz as something of a precursor to the Academy Award nominations, which would seem to foreshadow a forthcoming Gaga nod at the nominations February 8.
Twitter, predictably had thoughts…
Lady Gaga seriously got nominated at the SAG awards and not Kristen Stewart… pic.twitter.com/AzMoTXw27c

The #SAG noms are horrendous and show we're in for one of the worst Oscar lineups ever.
– Don't Look Up and House of Gucci will be this year's Bohemian Rhapsody.
– How the hell did Kristen Stewart get snubbed?
– None of the Belfast actors made it.
– Ellis snubbed!

Kristen Stewart esnobada no SAG??? CRIMINOSO

Out of every actress that could have been snubbed, they had to choose the best one out of the lot. Kristen Stewart gave the best performance of 2021 and it's a shame that's about to miss out on the top prize. pic.twitter.com/3nYA774Rx2

Kristen Stewart not getting the SAG Nom is making me spiral.

So #SAGAwards snubbed Kristen Stewart. Perhaps there's some industry politics somewhere in that. But at this point, it's pretty clear she isn't the Oscar frontrunner now. So Olivia Colman, Nicole Kidman… or Lady Gaga for House of freaking Gucci? ?

#SAGAwards best actress list feels like it was made to destroy a certain actress's chances rather than honor 5 performances. Because how can the universeally acclaimed, MOST awarded, undisputed FRONTRUNNER of the year gets SNUBBED like this? Ugly… #KristenStewart

After this morning, I'm thinking Lady Gaga *might* be the Oscar winner
(But Kristen Stewart will still be nominated. Come on.)

For those wondering about #KristenStewart's Oscar chances, if my calculations are correct, in the almost 30 years since the #SAGAwards started, there have been 24 instances where a female lead performance NOT nominated for a SAG went on to be nominated for the Oscar. pic.twitter.com/ekluL4e1fl

From what I understand, all nominations for both the SAGs and the Oscars are from the members of the SAG and the Academy, so evidently they found Lady Gaga’s performance to have been better than Kristen’s. If they’d thought she had the better performance, she would have gotten a nomination. Don’t like it? Then join the SAG, or get over it.
I have not seen either of the movies that either was in, so I don’t really care, but if Kristen’s fans want her to get some award, then they need to be sure she gets a nomination for an award the fans actually have a say on.

KStewart is a one-trick talentless pony whose father is a top-level well-connected Hollywood executive who helped her score roles.

No story about openly gay actor, Murray Bartlett up for Lead Actor in a TV Movie/Limited Series? You do realize you’re a gay blog/site, right?
cuteguy
Stewart is openly gay as well genius
dhmonarch89
duh- that fact doesn’t change my post about Murray! Genius!
cuteguy
Regina King was snubbed at SAG on her way to winning her oscar. Hopefully this snub will help Kristen win the Oscar
dhmonarch89
a lot of the nominations come from cultivating a relationship with the various awards (going regularly, presenting, etc.)- Lady Gaga has done that, while Stewart has maintained a more anti Hollywood reputation. That won’t be forgotten.
jackscott
House of Gucci was an entertaining movie, happy for Gaga. Plus, never been a Stewart fan!
whateverokok
Yeah. And I’m sure Kristen Stewart is YOUR no. 1 fan. I bet she just fawns over everything you do. Face it! Kristen doesn’t know you and couldn’t care less if she tried. So, how about taking that reindeer out that you’ve got stuck up your loose butt.
