Angela Bassett fans are rallying around the “devastated” actress after her “heartbroken” reaction to Jamie Lee Curtis’ Oscar win.
When Curtis beat the “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star in the Best Supporting Actress category Sunday night for her role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Bassett notably didn’t smile or stand up.
The 64-year-old looked “crushed” compared to nominees Kerry Condon and Stephanie Hsu, with many Twitter users calling the reaction “shady” and branding her a “sore loser”.
But others came to the “American Horror Story” alum’s defense.
“Angela Bassett is allowed to be visibly disappointed that she didn’t win the Oscar,” wrote a user.
Another one added“I actually appreciate that Angela didn’t put on a face to be a ‘good sport’.”
Other social media users criticized the academy for continuing to show Bassett’s face, with one person writing that she should have “got up and walked … out” of the room.

A fourth fan asked haters to look back at Curtis’ face when Bassett won a Golden Globe in January, claiming she looked just as upset.
“I didn’t see you talking then,” the person wrote.
When Curtis, 64, took to the stage to accept the Oscar in her sparkling Dolce and Gabbana gown, she dedicated the trophy to “hundreds of people”.
The “Freak Friday” star explained: “(To) the whole group of artists that made this movie, we just won an Oscar.
“To all the people who have supported the genre films I’ve made over the years, the thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, we just won an Oscar together!” she continued.
The “Halloween” star closes by thanking her late mother and father, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, who were both nominated for Academy Awards in her time.
“I just won!” she cheered.
