Fans defend Angela Bassett’s ‘disappointment’ over Jamie Lee Curtis’ Oscars win
Angela Bassett fans are rallying around the “crushed” actress after her “heartbroken” reaction to Jamie Lee Curtis’ Oscars win.
When the Curtis beat out the “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star in the Best Supporting Actress category on Sunday night for her role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Bassett notably did not smile or stand up.
The 64-year-old looked “crushed” in comparison to fellow nominees Kerry Condon and Stephanie Hsu, with many Twitter users calling the reaction “shady” and labeling her a “sore loser.” However, others came to the “American Horror Story” alum’s defense
“Angela Bassett is allowed to be visibly disappointed that she didn’t win the Oscar,” one user wrote.
Another added, “I actually appreciate that Angela didn’t put on a face for the sake of being a ‘good sport.’”
Other social media users slammed the Academy for continuing to show Bassett’s face, with one person writing that she should have “got up and walked … out” of the room.
