Jamie Lee Curtis’s Oscar Win Has Sparked Backlash, And People Are Not Holding Back
Earlier this evening, Jamie Lee Curtis won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her work in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Angela was nominated for playing the grieving mother of T’Challa in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which she did while grieving the real-life death of her costar Chadwick Boseman.
