Jamie Lee Curtis won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her work in Everything Everywhere All At Once at the 95th Academy Awards last night, but the twitterverse is not pleased at all.
While Jamie’s co-star, Stephanie, looked adorably excited for her EEAAO co-star, fans were quick to point out Angela Bassett’s look of disappointment at the award’s announcement. Angela was nominated for playing the grieving mother of T’Challa in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which she did while grieving the real-life death of her co-star, Chadwick Boseman.
While Jamie Lee is a deeply talented actor in her own right, let’s just say there was some uproar that Angela did not take the win home for her work in Wakanda Forever as well as her legacy as an actor.

People were also quick to call out how Jamie Lee beat Stephanie Hsu — who had a much longer and more integral part in the film than she did.
random mundane white woman in film, one of the antagonists even, winning in a film with a primarily asian cast is crazy https://t.co/OyAYxwjuLW
