I know I wouldn't be able to.

If you've ever watched an award show, you know that 99.99% of the time, nominees always pretend their happy when they lose. They act super happy for the winner, even though we know deep down they're probably pissed.

Well at this year's Oscars, multiple nominees did not conceal their disappointment when they lost their categories. Seriously though, I don't blame them. It must be a really hard moment.

Now, ABC only showed reaction cams for some of the categories. Here are the celebs who had less-than-ecstatic reactions to losing their nom:
