Oscars shock as Best Supporting Actress award goes to underdog

By Adam Bloodworth

Angela Bassett from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever did not take home the Best Supporting Actress gong tonight, in the first shake up of the night.

Bassett was the predicted winner of Best Supporting Actress, with most critics unanimously backing the actor.

However, Jamie Lee Curtis ended up winning for her performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Curtis played inspector Deirdre Beaubeirdra in the comedy-drama.

Curtis won her first Oscar tonight aged 64.

Picking up the award, Lee Curtis thanked the hundreds of people that made creating the film possible.

She said: “The entire group of artists who made this movie – we just won an Oscar!”

Earlier Ke Huy Quan won the Best Supporting Actor gong for the same movie.

And earlier on the red carpet, Lady Gaga was praised for running to help a photographer who took a fall.
