Hollywood Oscar pundits have lost their Latin.
Barometer of the flagship ceremony of the American seventh art, the powerful union of actors (the SAG) thwarted all their forecasts by snubbing films and talents, whose appointments seemed acquired in advance, and by relaunching second knives like the farce
House of Gucci
.
The account by Ridley Scott of the murder of Maurizio Gucci by his wife Patricia collects three chances of statuettes.
Like
The Power Of The Dog
.
But Jane Campion's dark western collects only individual nominations.

The guild fired
West Side Story.
Steven Spielberg's remake only lists one of his actresses Ariana DeBose in the Best Supporting Actor category, but forgets icon Rita Moreno and young shoot Rachel Zegler, who had just won a Golden Globe.
The musical isn't even in the best cast category which rightly or wrongly passes for the equivalent of the best picture statuette.

This category of group was full of surprises. Nothing for the dazzling poster heads of Dune (Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Fergusson) or

or

In this queen category of the best troupe, the union has retained the childhood memories of Kenneth Branagh

Kristen Stewart condemned to the exploit
The SAG, which brings together nearly 60,000 actors from series, advertising and cinema, is considered one of the most crucial guilds to be won over on the road to the Oscars. In particular to ensure an appointment, on February 8, in the sections best supporting roles and leading roles. The branch of actors is indeed the one that has the most weight and members in the Academy of Oscars. The union often only has one or two different appointments with the Academy. But this year, the ax fell on a composition and an actress who were unanimous. Praised by the majority of critical associations, Kristen Stewart, Princess Diana pushed to the limits of paranoia in

, was ousted in favor of Jennifer Hudson (
Respect
), Nicole Kidman (
Being The Ricardos
and acclaimed at the Golden Globes), Jessica Chastain (
The eyes of Tammy Fayes
), Olivia Colman (
The Lost Daughter
) and Lady Gaga (
House of Gucci
).
Rest assured fans of Kristen Stewart, it is possible to win an Oscar without being nominated for the SAG awards, which is what happened to Nicole Kidman for
The Hours
in 2003. But this is extremely rare.
However, perhaps the internationalization of the American Academy of Cinema will accentuate the differences between the union and the Oscars.
