On Wednesday, Jan. 12, the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards announced the list of nominees, and Kristen Stewart was unexpectedly excluded from the list. The 31-year-old star played Princess Diana in Pablo Larrion's film Spencer, where her performance was critically acclaimed but not recognized by the Screen Actors Guild.
Christine is expected to be nominated for Best Actress by screen actor guild of America. Instead, the award winners are Jennifer Hudson's "Respect," Olivia Coleman's "The Lost Daughter," Nicole Kidman's "Becoming Ricardos," Lady Gaga's "The House of The Ancients," and Jessica Chastain's "The Eyes of Timmy Fie."
Many of Kristen's fans have expressed dissatisfaction with her sabotage at the Screen Actors Guild of America. Those die-hard fans made their views very clear on Twitter.
Of all the actresses who might be chosen, they had to choose the best one from a multitude of actors. Kristen Stewart won the 2021 Best Performance Award and it's a shame she's about to lose her top prize. One fan wrote. Another Twitter user called Kristen's absence "a disgrace", and others said, "Kristen Stewart's absence at the Screen Actors Guild was a huge shock." For example, I know the film is controversial, but I think her performance was universally well received. ”
Fans also expressed concern that Christine's snub at the Screen Actors Guild in the United States means she won't be able to get a 2022 Oscar nomination. One fan said: "I don't want to say that, but to be honest, I really don't know how Kristen Stewart can still win an Oscar right now, and I think I should start to prepare mentally because she probably won't even be nominated." It was also pointed out that only two actors, Christopher Waltz in "Django Liberated" and Marcia Gay Harden in Pollock, won oscars for the same role after being snubbed by the Screen Actors Guild.
Although not recognized by the Screen Actors Guild, Christine's performance in Spencer was universally acclaimed. She lost to Nicole Kidman at the Golden Globes, receiving nominations and also a nomination for the upcoming Critics' Choice Film Awards. Before the film's release, Kristen had already begun to fight for an Oscar for Spencer. The Oscars will announce this year's nominees on Feb. 8, when fans will reveal whether the "Twilight" actor will be nominated for an Oscar.
Spencer, directed by Pablo Larrion, was inspired by princess Diana's three-day life as she struggled with the difficult decision to divorce Prince Charles (Jack Fassin). Kristin previously revealed that she began practicing her British accent months before the filming of the film, which was released on November 5.
In an interview with InStyle in October 2020, she said: "The accent is very intimidating because everyone knows that sound and it's very, very unique. "I'm working on it now, and I already have my dialect coach."
