![]() ![]() ![]() Just this past week, she was honoured at the Gotham Awards (delivering a very endearing speech) and then nominated for a Hollywood Film Critics Association award. There's obviously a long way to go, but it would be pretty shocking at this point if Stewart doesn't go on to receive her first Oscar nomination for Spencer. And perhaps even more shocking is that if she wins (which she currently is heavily favoured to do), Kristen Stewart will become the first openly LGBTQ winner of not just a best actress Oscar, but any acting Oscar whatsoever.īefore you start researching your certainty that I am wrong in suggesting this fact, let me clarify that by "openly" I mean the actor would need to be publicly, proudly LGBTQ at the time they won their Oscar. The 31-year-old has been considered a frontrunner for many a best actress prize since her spellbinding performance as Diana, Princess of Wales in Spencer debuted at film festivals this past August, and that has in no way slowed down. Someone already at the centre of this season - and almost certain to continue to be up until its final moments - is Kristen Stewart. (You may scoff at the ridiculousness of this immensely excessive timeline, but I for one am desperately ready for a 121-day-long distraction from society's implosion.) Kicking off officially earlier this week with Monday's Gotham Award ceremony and announcements from several critics award groups, the parade will keep on coming all the way to its March 27th, 2022 finale: the 94th annual Oscars. After last year's wild, largely Zoomed attempt at pulling off the festivities despite all of the things (which was mostly painful to witness but occasionally bore very interesting results), a return to relative normalcy is definitely the aim for the next four months.
