Angela Bassett and Jamie Lee Curtis were both up for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars. Bassett appeared crushed when she lost to Curtis, receiving some backlash for her reaction.
Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors extended their support to Angela Bassett following her loss to Jamie Lee Curtis.
"Hey Auntie," Jordan affectionately said to Bassett in a show of support. The 64-year-old actress was sitting front row center at the show.Many individuals also came to Bassett's defense on social media, with one person sharing on Twitter,"I can’t believe people are this upset because Angela Bassett didn’t immediately celebrate her losing. Didn’t even give her a chance to process her disappointment. Just immediately expected her to be the ‘you go girl’ type, and she refused.
Another user chose to applaud Bassett writing,"Good for Angela Bassett not smiling nor clapping. Y’all expect Black women to not only be exceptional, but be happy for others who get accolades we deserve over and over."Another person interpreted the viral reaction differently, noting,"I really believe Angela Bassett was just stunned when she didn’t hear her name called. But I don’t think she was being a sore loser or that she was bitter about Jamie Lee Curtis winning.
