Nothing better demonstrates the power of Lady Gaga than her dominance over today’s Oscars conversation, all while not even being nominated. The House of Gucci star’s absence from the Best Actress field is far and away the biggest surprise from this year’s nominations. Then again, she has fine company.
There were a handful of major snubs and surprises today (8 February), from Alana Haim’s work in Licorice Pizza going unloved, to the relief of a nod for Spencer’s Kristen Stewart. After being ignored at the Baftas, Stewart seemed to be in a danger zone. Thankfully, the Academy recognised her.
