Description: Angela Bassett's disappointed reaction to Jamie Lee Curtis winning Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars has caused controversy online, with some calling her a "sore loser".

The 64-year-old Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star appeared crestfallen and failed to applaud when an overjoyed Curtis, 64, won the coveted trophy for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

As others applauded, Bassett sat there with a somber expression on her face.
Critics lambasted her reaction on social media, with one writing, "Everyone wants to win, but most won't. That's life. And a sore loser is never a good look," while another said,

"Bassett is a fantastic actress. It's a shame she didn't continue performing tonight and applaud when Jamie Lee won."

One person even jokingly suggested that Ariana DeBose's BAFTA rap, in which she rapped, "Angela Bassett did the thing," may have put a curse on Bassett's chances of winning. "She put a curse on Angela Bassett. Since then, she lost every award that she was up to," they quipped.

But there were those who came to her defense, questioning Curtis's worthiness as a winner and praising Bassett's "real and raw" reaction. "How about y'all put in hard work and Oscar-worthy performances for 30+ years just to barely get any recognition, and when you do get recognized, you get snubbed? Her reaction was REAL and RAW," wrote one supporter.

The anger continued to escalate on social media, with some viewers saying they had to switch off the Oscars after Bassett lost out on the award. One outraged fan tweeted, "But Angela Bassett did the thing. What is happening?"
