Great night for fans of actress Jamie Lee Curtis. The 64-year-old interpreter has defeated the great favorite for the Oscar for best supporting actress this year, Angela Bassett. An unexpected but deserved victory, which has caused a large number of reactions on social networks, not because of Lee Curtis’s victory, but because of the disappointment on her opponent, Angela Bassett, when she realized that she was not the winner .
With the ‘Best Supporting Actress’ award, Jamie has increased the All at Once Everywhere counter after winning Ke Huy Quan the ‘Best Supporting Actor’ award. Despite the fact that Bassett seemed to have it all done with her candidacy for the queen mother, Ramonda, from Black Panther: Wakanda forever, with an emotional death included -which came as a surprise even to her-, in the end she has been the daughter of two great figures of Hollywood, Jamie Lee Curtis, the one who has taken the cat into the water for the crazed bureaucrat possessed of Everything at once everywhere.
While the rest of the nominees in the category, Hong Chau, Kerry Condon and Stephanie Hsu celebrated Jamie’s award, Bassett showed her greatest disappointment, appearing passive in the face of her opponent’s victory. A reaction that has not gone unnoticed in networks. “She couldn’t even pretend to be Joey from Friends that one time where she lost at an awards show,” jokes one user on Twitter. Quickly, the networks have been filled with ‘memes’ and comments about the reaction.
Many others believed that Bassett did deserve it. “Are you telling me that Jaime Lee Curtis’ cheesy performance was better than this piece of art Angela Bassett delivered?” one user tweeted. “I respect Jamie Lee Curtis, but the Oscar was for the queen of Wakanda. This has been a stab”, expressed another user. Outrage has also taken over the platform.
