Angela Bassett’s crestfallen reaction to Jamie Lee Curtis beating her to the Best Supporting Actress gong at Sunday’s Oscars has gone viral, with the star branded a ‘sore loser.’
The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star, 64, looked visibly disappointed and failed to applaud as an elated Curtis, 64. screamed at winning the first Oscar of her decades-long career for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Bassett, who was hoping to win Marvel Studio’s first ever acting Oscar after taking home the Golden Globe, was somber as Curtis took to the stage, while fellow nominees Hong Chau, Kerry Condon and Stephanie Hsu applauded.
Fans quickly took to social media to address her reaction with one writing: ‘Bassett is a fantastic actress. A shame she didn’t continue performing tonight and applaud when Jamie Lee won.
‘Everyone wants to win. However most won’t. That’s life. And sore loser is never a good look.’
Oh no: Angela Bassett’s crestfallen reaction to Jamie Lee Curtis beating her to the Best Supporting Actress gong at Sunday’s Oscars has gone viral, with the star branded a ‘sore loser’

Another quipped: ‘All you saying Angela Bassett should’ve won over Jamie lee… her reaction was poor sportsmanship.’
A third hilariously typed that Ariana DeBose’s panned BAFTAs rap – in which she said: ‘Angela Bassett did the thing’ – had cursed Bassett.
One wrote: ‘She put a curse on Angela Bassett. Since then she lost every awards that she was up to.
Another penned: ‘They really set Angela Bassett up had Ariana presenting the damn award they lost a moment for her to say Angela Bassett did the thing ugh.’
Others came out in defense of Bassett and questioned whether Curtis was a worthy winner, saying: ‘Everybody talking about Angela Bassett reaction saying she’s a sore loser…how about y’all put in hard work and oscar worthy performances for 30+ years just to barely get any recognition and when you do get recognized you get snubbed, her reaction was REAL and RAW.’
Another fan wrote: ‘Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Jamie Lee Curtis but her role in EEAAO was not even the best supporting actress performance in that movie. Angela Bassett stayed seated when she was announced as she should’ve. A queen never stands for an institution that refuses to honor her.’
Another wrote: ‘Jamie’s reaction affirms that Angela was the top contender. Every time a Black actor is on the verge of making history for a remarkable performance, The Academy opts to issue one retroactively to a peer. Bet if she was #thehelp vs the queen, Angela Bassett would’ve won./
Others wrote: ‘Yeah had to turn off the Oscars after they didn’t give Angela Bassett the award’ while another wrote: ‘But Angela Bassett did the thing. What is happening.’
She didn’t do the thing: Bassett, who was hoping to win Marvel Studio’s first ever acting Oscar after taking home the Golden Globe for her role as Queen Ramonda, was somber as she lost
Epic: Curtis looked emotional as she took home the first Oscar of her career
Acclaimed: Curtis played Deirdre Beaubeirdre in the acclaimed film
Before: Angela looked delighted seconds before she lost
Oh no: Angela looked sad while Jamie screamed at the win
The 95th Academy Awards will be hosted by late night chat show host Jimmy Kimmel and are being held at the regular venue of the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
Top Gun: Maverick has been nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture, in a sign that Hollywood is finally listening to audiences and honoring box office hits instead of arthouse favorites.
The movie starring Tom Cruise is nominated for Best Picture along with Elvis, Avatar: The Way of Water, All Quiet On The Western Front and The Fabelmans.
While Cruise missed out on a nomination for Best Actor, the nomination for Best Picture could bring him his first Academy Award.
However, Everything Everywhere All At Once led the pack with the most nominations with 11 and The Banshees of Inisherin earned nine nominations. The two films swept the Golden Globes earlier this month.
Elvis, by Baz Luhrmann, has eight nominations, including one for Austin Butler.
Best Actress at the Oscars will be a toss-up between Cate Blanchett in Tár and Michelle Yeoh, who won the award at the Golden Globes for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Sore loser: Some fans hit out at Bassett for her reaction
Fury: Other fans hit back at the loss and said Bassett was robbed
Ana De Armas also earned a nomination for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde.
While Cruise missed out on a nomination for Best Actor, Austin Butler (Elvis), Brendan Fraser (The Whale) and Bill Nighy (Living) all received nods.
All Quiet On The Western Front, a German-produced film, earned multiple nominations, as did Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, including Best Original Song.
Angela Bassett is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as is Jamie Lee Curtis for Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Winners will be voted on by the roughly 10,000 actors, producers, directors and film craftspeople who make up the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The academy added more women and people of color to its ranks after the #OscarsSoWhite uproars of 2015 and 2016, and it increased membership from outside the United States.
Flying high: Top Gun: Maverick has been nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture, in a sign that Hollywood is finally listening to audiences and honoring box office hits instead of arthouse favorites
Big favorite: However, Everything Everywhere All At Once led the pack with the most nominations with 11
This year, seven of the 20 acting nominees were people of color, including Yeoh’s Everything Everywhere All At Once castmates Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Quan.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences will surely celebrate a best-picture field populated with blockbusters; according to data firm Comscore, their collective domestic box office of $1.574 billion is the most ever at the time of nominations.
Last year’s awards had been looking like a comeback edition before ‘the slap’ came to define the ceremony. In the aftermath, the academy banned Will Smith from attending for the next 10 years.
Though he could have still been nominated, Smith’s performance as a runaway slave in Emancipation didn’t catch on with voters.

But larger concerns are swirling around the movie business. Last year saw flashes of triumphant resurrection for theaters, like the success of Top Gun: Maverick, but less stellar results for most dramas.
Partially due to an inconsistent stream of major releases, ticket sales for the year recovered only about 70 percent of pre-pandemic business.
Stocks for streaming services, meanwhile, have plunged as Wall Street looked to streaming services to earn profits, not just add subscribers.
