10 Most Shocking Snubs In The 2022 Oscar Nominations
1. Lady Gaga - Best Actress
From studying cats and foxes to get into character to writing an 80-page biography on her subject, Lady Gaga went full method (and full mental) to get into the role of Patrizia Reggiani for Ridley Scott's House of Gucci.
Critics were not kind about House of Gucci's tone, performances, or Jared Leto, but they did seem to like Gaga. Awards seem to like her too;. Golden Globes; Critics' Choice; SAGs, BAFTAs; even Rotten Tomatoes' awards all picked Gaga as one of their favourite actors of 2021. But when it came to the Oscars... well, take a guess.
Not only was Gaga totally snubbed this year, her entire movie was. No "Best Picture", no acting awards at all, nothing apart from one solitary nomination for "Best Makeup and Hairstyling". Whilst Gaga certainly looked the part in this film, it's doubtful this was the outcome she would have wanted.
From an early contender to a bit of a joke, the rise and fall of House of Gucci is almost as dramatic as the events of the film themselves. With that acting Oscar still alluding her, who knows which animal Gaga will imitate next to get her paws on that elusive award.
