Her co-star, Stephanie Hsu, was up for the same award, as was Angela Bassett for her work in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
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.
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.
THEY GAVE JAMIE LEE CURTIS AN OSCAR FOR A MOVIE SHE WAS BARELY IN BECAUSE THAT STUPID INDUSTRY BEEN IGNORING HER HER WHOLE CAREER…ONLY TO ALSO IGNORE ANGELA BASSETT WHO IS BEYOND DESERVING OF THAT AWARD
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.
Her win even initiated a discussion on the roles nepotism plays in award shows like these. Jamie Lee Curtis is the daughter of Tony Curtis — an Oscar nominee — and Janet Leigh — an Oscar winner.
And, of course, some downright hilarious tweets were made:
^They had a point about this one, TBH.
