Screen Actors Guild best actress nominations. Any way you slice it, that’s a big problem.They’ve both received months of acclaim.
In “Babygirl,” Kidman plays a powerful CEO who has a fling with the 28-year-old intern, and Jolie, in an Oscar-bait role, portrays opera singer Maria Callas in “Maria.”But now they are the biggest snubs of award season so far.Does SAG overlap with the Academy Awards 100% of the time?
Far from it. There are almost always one or two nominees who get swapped out at the Dolby Theater come March. Last year, for instance, SAG nominee Annette Bening (“Nyad”) was given the old heave-ho for Sandra Hüller (“Anatomy of a Fall”) at the Oscars.However — and this is jarring — only once in 30 years has a woman who was not nominated at the SAG Awards gone one to win the Oscar for Best Actress — Kate Winslet (“The Reader”) back in 2009.Making their victories even more improbable, consider that Winslet still was nominated that year by the SAGs, only for a different movie — “Revolutionary Road.” So, both groups acknowledged her work in some way.
Not so of Jolie and Kidman, whose campaigns have come to a crashing halt. Who did get into best actress on Wednesday? Demi Moore (“The Substance”), Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked”), Mikey Madison (“Anora”), Pamela Anderson (“The Last Showgirl”) and Karla Sofía Gascón (“Emilia Perez”).
