House of Gucci. Sorry, haters, but Gaga was Golden Globe-nominated, is SAG nominated, and was crowned Best Actress by the New York Film Critics Circle–and she got the accent right!I’m not predicting her to win the Oscar (and neither is Madonna, lol), but if she does, she will be an openly queer actor copping the gold.
And she’s already got a Best Song Oscar (for “Shallow”) to sweeten the queer pot, so there.And then we have Kristen Stewart, whose chances diminished when the SAG awards snubbed her this past week, though she is still considered in the Oscar running.
If she manages to win Best Actress for her performance as Lady Di in Spencer, she’ll be an openly queer winner of an acting Oscar and a royal history maker.
She will also be the first one whose performance I wasn’t enamored of since Loretta Young for The Farmer’s Daughter in 1948, lol.But it would be great to have the Best Actress winner take the podium and thank the woman she’s engaged to, for a change.
