Forget Lady Gaga. The real breakout star of “A Star Is Born,” Warner Bros’ romantic musical that’s poised to take awards season by storm, is D.J. “Shangela” Pierce.
However, many fans of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” the reality TV show that gave Shangela her big break, are wondering why she’s not nominated along with the rest of the cast at this year’s SAG Awards. As it turns out, the Screen Actors Guild has a rule that in order for an actor to receive a bid as part of the ensemble they must receive “single card billing.” Since only seven “A Star Is Born” cast members receive such billing — Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Sam Elliott, Dave Chappelle, Andrew Dice Clay, Rafi Gavron and Anthony Ramos — those are the film’s only SAG-eligible contenders.

Christmas is coming early to Netflix, with the streaming platform adding a host of new holiday movies to its November lineup.
Kicking off the month is “Angela’s Christmas” — an animated feature about a young Irish girl — followed by another heartwarming holiday tale, “The Holiday Calendar,” about a young photographer who discovers a magical advent calendar that can predict the future. Later on, Netflix is releasing the much anticipated follow-up to “A Christmas Prince,” revisiting the characters of Prince Richard (Ben Lamb) and Amber (Rose McIver), as she begins to question her upcoming wedding and the ascension to royalty that comes with it.
Viewers who aren’t in the mood for Christmas cheer will also be able to watch the final season of “House of Cards” on Nov. 2 — this time sans Kevin Spacey and with Claire Underwood serving as president. A number of popular films are also coming to the streaming platform,...
