Tammy Faye Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

To the surprise of many, Lady Gaga did not receive an Oscar nomination for Best Actress on Feb. 8. But the House of Gucci star, 35, still spoke out after the awards snub on Instagram to kindly congratulate her pal Frederic Aspiras, who, along with Göran Lundström and AnnaCarin Lock, scored the biographic crime film a nomination for Best Makeup & Hairstyling. “Frederic was magical, precise, and dedicated months leading up to shoot and during filming. He prepared dozens of wigs for months and months, and did at least a year of preparation,” Gaga wrote in her post, which featured a black-and-white snapshot of the pair.

Jessica Chastain has built a résumé of portraying strong-willed women, but playing Tammy Faye Bakker was the first time she felt “exposed.” Believe it or not, she’s been working on bringing The Eyes of Tammy Faye to life since her most recent Best Actress nomination in 2012’s Zero Dark Thirty.

the 2022 Oscar nominations on Tuesday morning. The announcement was a spectacular school-marm-like repudiation of the popular kids. Here’s who’s in detention.Gaga certainly assumed she’d be included in the Best Actress roster for “House of Gucci” alongside Oscars Terminator Olivia Colman (“The Lost  Daughter”), Nicole Kidman (“Being the Ricardos”), Jessica Chastain (“The Eyes of Tammy Faye”) and Penelope Cruz (“Parallel Mothers”).

Clayton Davis Streamers, jaw-droppers, Princess Diana and heartbroken Little Monsters sum up the 2022 Oscar nominations.It’s unclear what was more shocking — the snub of Lady Gaga or the over-performance of Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog,” which has put the streaming giant in the best position to nab its first best picture trophy, something its been seeking for years.For the second year in a row, the best actress is completely wide open and turned upside down, even more than last year’s race that had a different winner at all the televised award ceremonies. This year, only Gaga’s turn in “House of Gucci” was nominated at the BAFTA, Critics Choice, Golden Globes and SAG Awards, leaving many to assume that she would be walking away with her first acting Oscar.

Nicole Kidman’s fifth ever Oscar nomination came in Tuesday morning, this time for Aaron Sorkin’s Being the Ricardos, from Amazon Studios. As I Love Lucy star Lucille Ball, Kidman depicts the life of a creative comedic icon who led an unprecedented charge for women in the industry, essentially writing for, producing and as good as directing herself as she performed.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Tick, Tick... Boom!, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, this just might be the year of Garfield. (Yes, we know he's not likely to be rewarded with a little gold man for his work as Peter Three, but we're including it here for reasons.)No matter who wins, it's going to be a glorious evening full of gowns, champagne, and drawn-out acceptance speeches.

Zack Sharf The 2022 Oscar nominees have been revealed, but it’s one name missing from the best actress race that’s generating the most conversation online. Fans were shocked when Lady Gaga failed to earn a nomination for her performance in “House of Gucci.” The nom would’ve been Gaga’s second best actress bid, following her nominated turn in “A Star Is Born,” for which she won an Oscar for original song.

The 2022 Academy Award nominations list is finally here!

Clayton Davis Sensing a potential trend in the possible nominations of three major Oscars categories — best director, actor and actress — we could see a first-time occurrence for the Academy Awards on Tuesday. However, if you read the tea leaves put forth by the nominations for the DGA and SAG, there’s a strong possibility that all three of those categories may not include a first-time nominee — a first in Oscar history.For best actor, the SAG lineup recognized all former nominees and winners — Javier Bardem (“Being the Ricardos”), Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Power of the Dog”), Andrew Garfield (“Tick, Tick … Boom!”), Will Smith (“King Richard”) and Denzel Washington (“The Tragedy of Macbeth”).

Jane Campion’s The Power Of The Dog was the big winner at Sunday’s London Critics’ Circle Awards, scooping four prizes including Film of the Year. Scroll down for the full list of winners.

Naman Ramachandran Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” won four major awards at the 42nd annual London Critics’ Circle Film Awards on Sunday.“The Power of the Dog” won film of the year, Campion director of the year, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Kodi Smit-McPhee, actor and supporting actor of the year, respectively. This is Campion’s second film to take the Circle’s top honor, 28 years after “The Piano” won in 1994.Olivia Colman’s performance in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Lost Daughter,” which was snubbed at the BAFTA nominations, earned her the actress of the year award.

Andrew Garfield has recalled the ‘generosity’ of his colleagues on The Eyes of Tammy Faye when he had to leave the set to be with his mother in her final days. In a new interview, the Spider-Man: No Way Home star opened up on losing his mum, Lynn, to cancer while he was in the middle of filming in America. At the time, Andrew was shooting biopic The Eyes of Tammy Faye, where he plays original Televangelist Jim Bakker; he had accepted the role just before Lynn was diagnosed with the illness.

Clayton Davis With Oscar nominations just days away, the BAFTAs weighed in with their nominations for the 75th edition of the awards, which is set to take place on Sunday, March 13, with Rebel Wilson hosting the evening’s honors.There were many surprises and snubs among the field of nominees, where Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” led the charge, despite the filmmaker missing a nod. But, whether it was the complete shutouts of “Spencer” and “Tick, Tick … Boom!” or the inclusions of Ryûsuke Hamaguchi in director and adapted screenplay or Ann Dowd and Woody Norman in the supporting categories, the impact won’t be felt in the Oscar world since voting is now closed.Down below are the most notable snubs and surprises from the BAFTA nominations.

Clayton Davis The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) will reveal its nominations tomorrow and we’re expecting anarchy, at least in the acting categories.Beefing up its membership considerably over the last few years, and instituting jury methods to the voting process in performance and director categories last year, yielded an unexpected field of contenders that may or may not have a rippling influence on the Oscars race.Notable actors are looking for boosts from the British voting bloc, including Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Power of the Dog”), Andrew Garfield (“The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and “Tick, Tick … Boom!”) and Nicole Kidman (“Being the Ricardos”).Following the results of a diversity review, the group threw the awards season for a loop with surprise selections like Radha Blank and Adarsh Gourav last year. The top two vote-getters from Round One are automatic nominees, but we don’t know who those individuals are, nor is it clear if the jury knows either.Some leading contenders eyeing their first BAFTA nomination are Denzel Washington (“The Tragedy of Macbeth”), who, despite two Oscar wins with eight total noms, has never been recognized by his colleagues across the pond.

Todd Gilchrist In 2021, the ways in which women can define themselves, their identities and their successes is more complex and diverse than ever before, but tradition — and the expectation of adherence to that tradition — continues to exert a powerful influence on how easily or confidently these individuals navigate the spaces they’re creating for themselves.Many of the most memorable stories told on screen this year examined that topic, portraying women of all different ages as they reckon with the roles that society believes they should fill, which come with duties their culture or beliefs tells them they must fulfill, or that lead them down paths, personally or professionally, that the world pressures them to follow. And judges mercilessly when they don’t.

Michele Amabile Angermiller The awards race in the best actress and best supporting actress categories is brimming with real life protagonists getting the big screen treatment. From Nicole Kidman’s Lucille Ball  (“Being the Ricardos”) to Lady Gaga (“House of Gucci”) and Kristen Stewart (“Spencer”),  these women were tasked with preserving and presenting the legacy of flesh and blood icons, telling their stories truthfully and without judgment.“I think everyone wants to be seen as a fully realized human being, not as just a caricature,” notes Kidman, who took home the Golden Globe for her lead turn in the Aaron Sorkin biopic.Being entrusted with someone’s life story is a big responsibility, and these actresses took great care in their prep work.

Tim Gray Senior Vice PresidentWhen Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” screened for industry audiences in late November, Oscar pundits were rapturous but immediately worried: “It’s great, but could a remake win best picture?”The answer, of course, is yes. (Pundits like to either predict the Oscar outcome five months in advance or else predict dire scenarios, nothing in between.)This year, there are some terrific remakes.

“The Eyes of Tammy Faye” star, 44, recalled her troubled upbringing and how it made her a stronger person today. “When people see me, I think they expect a different background than I have,” the northern California native recently told the Times. Chastain grew up with four siblings and a single mom.

In the last four days, Andrew Garfield has won a Golden Globe Award, landed on BAFTA’s “longlists” for his performances in both “tick, tick…BOOM!” and “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for the former film – all while “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” in which he appears, continues to dominate the box office.It has, in other words, been a very busy, very crowded time. “I just have to take them one at a time, I think, and appreciate that I’m alive and breathing and that I get to act,” Garfield told TheWrap on Wednesday morning, shortly after the SAG nominations were announced.

LOS ANGELES -- Nominations for the 28th annual Screen Actor Guild Awards, which will be handed out on Feb.

Academy Awards, made barely a peep. They were unceremoniously announced Sunday on Twitter in a private ceremony due to Hollywood's boycott of the beleaguered Hollywood Foreign Press Association over diversity and ethical issues.

Let the gussying-up begin. The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild has applied the nominations for its ninth annual awards show next month. See the film list of nominations below.

For The Eyes of Tammy Faye, makeup designer Linda Dowds was tasked with replicating the bold style of Tammy Faye Bakker. The real Tammy Faye was known for her extreme use of makeup, including tattooing lip and eyeliner on face.

After promoting his two films “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and “tick, tick…boom!” it seemed as if all the extra questions about potentially appearing in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” were weighing heavy on Andrew Garfield. Unlike Tobey Maguire, who just stayed out of the public eye, and Tom Holland, who was busy talking about other aspects of the film, Garfield was getting hammered for months about whether or not he was showing up.

John Wirth Guest ColumnistFor Variety‘s Writers on Writers, John Wirth pens a tribute to “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” (screenplay by Abe Sylvia; based on the documentary by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato).Abe Sylvia has written a script about two hapless bible students who create with nothing more than a hymn, a bible and a puppet their wildly successful televangelist empire. It’s no small miracle that he’s accomplished this without commenting on the immoral hellscape the story stands upon.

Are you feeling pretty? Or feeling monstrous? Look no further than the 10 films still in the mix for the 20220 Makeup and Hairstyling Academy Award. “Cruella,” “Dune,” “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and “The Suicide Squad” were expected among the list.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

Jessica Chastain is not only one of the best actors working today, she is also one who chooses really interesting projects to work on. Earlier this year, she appeared as Tammy Faye Bakker in the biopic “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” where she is almost unrecognizable as the infamous televangelist.
