SAGs vicious diss of Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman could spell doom at the Oscars

Never say never, I suppose.But Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie’s chances of winning the Oscar for Best Actress became microscopic on Wednesday.What did Kidman say in that viral AMC ad? We come to this place for ice-cold rejection?Both women, who have each been the frontrunner at different points of this topsy-turvy race, were left out of the all-important Screen Actors Guild best actress nominations. Any way you slice it, that’s a big problem.They’ve both received months of acclaim.
