Kristen Stewart, Ariana Debose & Byron Howard: LGBTQ Artists At The 2022 Oscars
metroweekly.comKristen Stewart: Best Actress is always one of the most competitive categories at the Oscars, and this year’s race is set to be a real nail-biter.
Early on, it looked like Stewart was a shoo-in for the honor, but then she was left out of many other major ceremonies, only to earn a semi-surprise Academy Award nod.At times, the favor seems to shift to others for a period, and Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Olivia Colman, Jessica Chastain and Kristen Stewart have all had a turn as the suggested winner.No one really knows who will receive the trophy, and it’s sure to be one of the most exciting moments of the night.Stewart is nominated for her pitch-perfect performance as Princess Diana in Spencer.
The star is currently engaged to her screenwriter girlfriend Dylan Meyer, and they could get married any day now.During her time in the spotlight, the former Twilight actress has been linked to both men and women, though for several years now she’s been open about her dating life, which has only involved female partners.Ariana DeBose: While this year’s Best Supporting Actress category is filled with incredible performances by extremely talented women, it seems almost certain that Ariana DeBose will be called up on stage.Playing Anita in the West Side Story remake, she somehow managed to live up to the original (Rita Moreno won her Oscar for the same role back in 1961) while simultaneously making it all her own.
Her vocals and dancing are flawless, and she brings some real attitude to the screen.DeBose is currently nominated against Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter), Kirsten Dunst (The Power of the Dog), Aunjanue Ellis (King Richard) and Judi Dench (Belfast), with the latter star being the only woman who has been up for a statue.
