EW breaks down the nods of why the Oscars snub Lady Gaga, Caitríona Balfe
EW breaks down the nods of why the Oscars snub Lady Gaga, Caitríona Balfe
The 2022 Oscar nominations gave long-standing contenders Will Smith, Olivia Colman, and Benedict Cumberbatch reason to celebrate on Tuesday morning — but, like a cloud of flies sent by Patrizia Reggiani to terrorize Lady Gaga in Italy, they also brought painful tidings of snubbery for past frontrunners.
Once thought to be an outlying contender in a movie that received so-so reviews from mainstream critics, Gaga’s leading performance in Ridley Scott’s crime drama House of Gucci overcame the odds to establish the A Star Is Born Oscar winner as a serious, bankable actress (Gucci is the top-grossing drama at the domestic box office in two years).

It became clear that Gaga’s chances hung onto more than a prayer in the name of the Father, Son, and House of Gucci, as she quickly racked up the kind of pre-Oscars report card that doesn’t just get you nominated, but bags the gold. With support from critics (NYFCC, Critics Choice Awards, Golden Globes) and industry voters (SAG, BAFTA) alike, Gaga felt like the safest bet in a chaotic category.

In hindsight, we can assume one of two things likely happened: first, Gaga’s rise dovetails with Spencer star Kristen Stewart’s fall.
As brilliant of a film as Spencer is, general audiences many not have liked that it presented the story of an icon known and beloved by millions with daring liberties, in a deliberately fantastical (yet masterfully crafted) fashion.

It’s likely that some industry members felt the same way, as the film failed to score notices from SAG and, more surprisingly, BAFTA.
With Gaga hitting those precursors that Stewart missed, the Academy’s acting branch may have thought Gaga was performing well enough on the circuit that she didn’t need their votes, and instead filled out their ballots in favor of Stewart, who they may have assumed needed it more after her SAG snub.

The other scenario is a bit more complicated. To combat a lack of diversity among nominees, BAFTA altered the way it votes in recent years.
Acting categories contain multiple slots, with the top two determined by BAFTA-wide popular votes, while the rest of the bracket is filled out by a very, very small jury.

When it comes to BAFTA, we simply don’t know whether Gaga was the popular vote-getter or not, as the group doesn’t release their vote tallies.
Let’s say, for the sake of this argument, that Gaga was not the popular pick, and was actually chosen by the small jury.
So, instead of being the consensus pick across the industry, she could’ve actually been a contender boosted by smaller circles. Particularly with certain journalist collectives, they might’ve hoped to exploit her A-list celebrity status and industry clout to gain bigger platforms through the the season.

“He’s not my fan He’s my husband” Carrie Underwood Doesn’t Ask Her Husband for Advice About…
“He’s not my fan He’s my husband” Carrie Underwood Doesn’t Ask Her Husband for Advice About…
If Carrie Underwood wanted advice about how to play hockey, she’d probably ask her husband, Mike Fisher. But when it comes to her Grammy-winning country music, she said he’s not the first person she goes to. Sometimes, he only hears her songs once they’re out, and everyone else listens to them, too. And when asked why that is, she explained it’s pretty simple: “He’s not my fan. He’s my husband.”
Underwood married Fisher, then a player for the National Hockey League, in 2010. They had their first son in 2015, and Fisher retired in 2018. Then, they had their second son, Jacob, in 2019. The family just celebrated his fourth birthday.
In an interview with ET Canada, Underwood revealed Fisher isn’t someone she turns to for music and career advice. “Nope. Nope,” she said, shaking her head when asked. She explained that while the former NHL player would be “brutally honest” with her, she added, “He’s not my fan. He’s my husband.”

Since her music is something she shares with her fans, she said she’d recorded songs he had only heard when they were finished. “When I’m making music, I’m doing what I love,” she explained. “Obviously, you want that to translate to fans.”
Underwood added that she usually values what Fisher says but noted, “In this context, not so much.”

She also pointed out that she’s not disrespecting her marriage, as he doesn’t ask her for advice about playing hockey. If he did, she guessed, “I’d be like, ‘I don’t know. You looked good out on the ice.’”
While talking to ET Canada, Underwood said she and Fisher have very different musical tastes, confessing, “I don’t know if he would be a Carrie Underwood fan if he was not married to me.”
That is one of a few areas where the couple agreed to disagree. For example, “Carrie does not like hunting one bit,” Fisher shared about his wife, who doesn’t eat meat (Mike and Carrie: God & Country).
“If he could be a vegan/vegetarian,” Underwood added, “my life would be almost perfect.”

Carrie Underwood blocked Billy Eichner for tweeting this nasty s*** about her
On Sept. 27, 2022, Eichner appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen to promote his movie, Bros. During the appearance, a fan asked Eichner if he ever figured out why Underwood blocked him on Twitter.
“Carrie Underwood blocked me on Twitter, which I consider a great honor,” Eichner said. “It was one of the great thrills of my life. You know Jesus take, Jesus, follow me back on Twitter I guess I don’t know.”
“Were you tweeting nasty s*** about her?” Cohen asked.
“I think I was — OK, there was a thing where she during the height of COVID she posted a, re-tweeted a speech by some Republican guy saying that kids shouldn’t have to wear masks in schools. Kind of letting her political views be known for the first time. And I guess I made some jokes about that. That went viral on Twitter and I guess she didn’t like that,” Eichner explained.

In August 2021, Underwood liked a tweet by a political commentator named Matt Walsh. This immediately drew backlash from fans.
“… I don’t care who carries votes for because she very clearly is conservative. My problem is that it’s incredibly selfish to not wear a mask. Wearing a Mask is the SIMPLEST way to show human compassion during this thing. I’m so over anti-maskers,” one fan wrote on Reddit.

Another fan argued on Reddit, “She’s PRO parent’s choice for their child. There’s a difference. There’s plenty of people that are for masks + vaccine but having the choice.”
Amidst all the debate surrounding Underwood’s Twitter likes, Eichner shared that the country singer blocked him in a tweet. The comedian posted a screenshot of Underwood’s profile that showed he was blocked with the caption, “ICONIC.”
