The 95th Academy Awards took place on 12th March 2023, and in keeping with the tradition this year also had some questionable wins. One of the wins that sparked controversy among fans was the win of Jamie Lee Curtis for the Best Supporting Actress inEverything Everywhere All at Once.
The veteran actor’s role as tax inspector Deirdre Beaubeirdre was apparently better than Stephanie Hsu, the co-star of the actress who played the roles of Joy and Jobu Tupaki in the movie. The fans were surprised because Stephanie Hsu as Jobu Tupaki was fantastic, and if her performance was not good enough, the other nominees were Angela Bassett, Kerry Condon, and Hong Chau. The fans were furious and they went on to Twitter claimingThe Joy Rideactress deserved it more.

A viewer tweeted how the win of Jamie Lee Curtis was a joke, and her performance was nothing compared to Angela Bassett,or Stephanie Hsu.
Angela Bassett deserved this, even Stephanie Hsu deserved this, but Jaime Lee Curtis was a joke, her acting wasn’t even that notable for a nomination, even less for the award

Another user stated how the award organization is notorious for humiliating superhero movies. But most of all fans were disappointed because her role as Queen Ramonda was marvelous.
The Oscars degrade superhero movies once again. How expected.I loved EEAAO but come on Angela Bassett deserved that for her performance as Ramonda in BPWF. Marvel is cinema wether you like it or not people.

Another user claimed that the award is for showing respect to an actor’s career rather than their performance for the movie.
voting based on wanting to giving her a career win rather than her individual performance is so annoying

When Jamie Lee Curtis won the award for Best Supporting Actress, the camera panned on to the other nominees for the award. Jamie Lee Curtis was surprised to hear her name but soon she expressed her excitement, while the other nominees applauded the actress, one nominee was not happy. TheBlack Panther 2actress looked silent and almost frozen, and she had a look of disappointment on her face.
