Fans Defend Angela Bassett’s Reaction To Jamie Lee Curtis Winning That Oscar

Those watching the Oscars picked up on the fact that Angela Bassett did NOT look happy when Jamie Lee Curtis’ name was called as the winner in the Best Supporting Actress category. While the other nominees were quick to applaud and cheer her on, Bassett sat stone-faced. Many took to social media to say it was okay for her to feel disappointment. Others pointed out you can feel bad for Bassett while happy for Jamie Lee Curtis at the same time.
