The official 2016 Oscar nominations were announced on Thursday (January 14). Several fans are currently outraged that Kristen Stewart was not recognized for her stunning work in Olivier Assayas' highly-acclaimed drama, "Clouds of Sils Maria."
The former "Twilight" sweetheart did receive the Cesar Award for "Best Supporting Actress" in February 2015, for her portrayal of Valentine. But that's not enough for some fans, since she won't be attending the Academy Awards as a potential winner...
@digwithashovel: "As with the Globes, the only major snub that bothers me here is Kristen Stewart. She got robbed at gunpoint this awards season. #Oscars."
@stillfrancesca: "McAdams got an Oscar nom for Spotlight while Kristen Stewart gets a snub despite all the accolades."
@Twilightus: "This is all kinds of messed up! Kristen Stewart wins all kinds of accolades including the Cesar & u snub her! BOOO!"
Well, here are the actual nominees for "Best Supporting Actress" (via BBC News):
Jennifer Jason Leigh, "The Hateful Eight" -
"The best part of The 'Hateful Eight' is Leigh, who brings mischievous grit to her every appearance," (Montreal Gazette).
Rooney Mara, "Carol" -
"There are obvious asymmetries to be discovered in the relationship between a penniless young bohemian and a wealthy, full-grown matron, but Ms. Mara refuses to be the ingenue in the arrangement. She is vulnerable and hungry, timid and ferocious, predator and prey," (New York Times).
Rachel McAdams, "Spotlight" -
"McAdams brings her typical resolute intelligence to Sacha Pfeiffer... whether quietly interviewing abuse victims or caught off guard coming face to face with one of the accused priests, she's entirely human and it's telling how often McCarthy chooses to resolve a scene on a look from her" (IndieWire).
Alicia Vikander, "The Danish Girl" -
"How Gerda copes... is even more gripping. She proves astonishingly supportive towards her partner's plight. Vikander eats this all up with a spoon, by turns energetic, winning, raw and compassionate... it seems she can do anything," (Empire).
Kate Winslet, "Steve Jobs" -
"Don't be surprised ifWinslet also gets a nod in the best supporting actress category for her part as Jobs's right-hand-woman," (Evening Standard).
Do MstarsNews readers think that 25-year-old Stewart got upset after hearing the news? Or maybe she simply leaned on rumored "boyfriend" Nicholas Hoult for some support. Share your thoughts in the comments section below!
