The Oscar for the best supporting actress went to Jamie Lee Curtis, but her colleague had a hard time swallowing her loss.
Angela Bassett was not happy when the Oscar went to another actress, Jamie Lee Curtis. PDO
The Oscar gala was a celebration of great emotions, where the most successful films and performances were once again awarded. Participating in the gala itself must be an experience, even if the award doesn’t hit your mark. Jamie Lee Curtis64, won the first Academy Award of his life Everything Everywhere All at Once – about the female supporting part of the film. The entire gala audience stood up cheering, everyone except the one nominated in the same category Angela Bassett64.
Bassett didn’t hide his reaction after losing to Curtis. He remained seated in his seat with a disappointed look on his face as the rest of the audience gave Curtis a standing ovation. The classic reaction of a bad loser has now sparked some surprised comments on social media.
The general public seems to be wondering how the legendary actress Angela Bassett was unable to celebrate her colleague’s victory. Bassett was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
