Vulture pointed out that many co-stars were snubbed as well., “Jessica Chastain got a nod for playing Tammy Wynette in George and Tammy, but her partner, Michael Shannon, got zippo. Colin Firth is nominated for his role as Michael Peterson in The Staircase, but Toni Collette, who plays his wife, Kathleen, is not.
