I can't really blame Angela Bassett for not bothering to hide her disappointment at losing out to Jamie Lee Curtis. She'd last been Oscar nominated almost three decades prior, so hopefully it won't take her as long to garner another nomination.
Sofia Vergara wasn’t the only person who was disappointed. But these celebrities have a right to be upset when they lose, as long they handled it well.
James Earl Jones losing an acting award to James Corden is the equivalent of Goodfellas losing the best picture Oscar to Dances With Wolves.
I would be pissed off too if I lost to James Corden. So, James Earl Jones' reaction seems appropriate.
Evanescence DESERVED that award!!! In a music category, I think making YOUR OWN music, with instruments, is imperative! And Amy Lee's voice is amazing!
Delroy Lindo had exactly the same impression in his face as Angela Bassett when he lost Best Supporting Actor this Oscar night - and I can't blame him. He must have thought it was his turn now. And I thought the same - he was amazing in Sinners.
Bassett should have beaten Jamie Lee Curtis. She had every right to be upset.
James Cordon-booooooooo👎🏼
I’ll vote for a band that makes their own music over a guy who rhymes to about women
So MTV should've known to keep Kanye glued to his seat? I guess narcissism sells.
Sofia took it very well, and was a good sport about it.
50 cent may have been the biggest RAPPER of that time but evanescence broke thru to multiple genres! Amy Lee is one of the best vocalists in recorded music history, evanescence has fans across ALL genres not just 2... They won and deserved to win
I don't blame Angela being pissed. A lot of people said Angela Bassett should've won.
Just because you’re Black it doesn’t mean that you’re entitled to an award.
Taylor Swift learned from her loss to Daft Punk. Daft Punk had one of the best CDs of the year.
Taylor Swift Sucks❌ Daft Punk Rules✅
Even if he wasn't such a little prick, does anyone else agree that Lars Ulrich has one of those faces that's just BEGGING to be punched?!?😂
Shia Labeouf's Reaction if he Loses. Shia Goes on a Rampage.
Every Reaction That The MsMojo Queen(Phoebe) Says🥲😭
Kanye is overrated. 😅
