Can Kristen Stewart still win best actress for “Spencer” at the Oscars? That’s the burning question following her shocking snub by the Screen Actors Guild.
For her portrayal as Princess Diana in Pablo Larraín’s fable about the tragic royal, the 31-year old actor has led the tally in critics’ prizes. On the circuit, since “Spencer” debuted at the Venice Film Festival in late summer, she catapulted to the forefront of the best actress race after rave reviews. However, being the front-runner for so long can have its downside. Just ask people like Glenn Close of “The Wife” (2017) or the producing team behind “La La Land” (2016). In this biz, timing is everything.
So what caused Stewart’s absence from the ballots of SAG’s 2,500 Nom Comm voters?
Aside from perhaps peaking too early, the movie — penned by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Steven Knight — isn’t a standard cozy-up-next-to-your-loved-one kind of flick.
