Oscars 2023 concluded a couple of hours ago and it has been history for South Asian talents. Indians scored big with Naatu Naatu and The Elephant Whisperers. They were the only nominations at this year’s 95th Academy Awards. And another movie to make history was Everything Everywhere All at Once. It was nominated in about 10 categories and picked up 7 trophies making it the most awarded movie of the night. However, it has sparked a debate again, a nepotism debate as Jamie Lee Curtis picked up a trophy over Stephanie Hsu.
Oscars 2023: Jamie Lee Curtis wins Best Supporting actress
Everything Everywhere All At Once has picked a lot of trophies. The Best Supporting Actress was picked up by Jamie Lee Curtis. She was nominated alongside Angela Bassett, Hong Chau, Kerry Condon and Stephanie Hsu. Jamie Lee Curtis who played Deirdre Beaubeirdre, the IRS inspector in Everything Everywhere All at Once, was honoured with the trophy.
Netizens feel Stephanie Hsu was more deserving of the award than Jamie; sparking the nepotism debate
Jamie winning the Best Supporting Actress has not sat well with a lot of fans of the Oscars. Many are calling out the 95th Academy Awards and have accused them of robbing Stephanie Hsu of her much-deserved Oscar. Jamie is being called a nepotism baby and people are slamming her win calling Stephanie’s character of Joy having a more integral part in Everything Everywhere All at Once than Jamie’s. Check out the tweets here:
@jamieleecurtis was nothing more than an overpaid supporting actress. Stephanie Hsu is the true winner. https://t.co/wBqnvfXURQ

how the FUCK did Stephanie Hsu not win, it makes absolutely no sense

As much as love Jamie Lee Curtis, the entire movie’s climax works on Stephanie Hsu’s performance. She should have been getting at least the nod, before Jamie Lee Curtis. Not to take anything away, but she was barely in the movie compared to her colleague

Not only did Jamie Lee beat out THE Angela Basset, but she also beat out Stephanie Hsu who quite literally had a major role making EEAAO what it is. And y’all wanna talk about how nepotism and racism don’t play a role in award shows pic.twitter.com/HyCvHow01D

I love Jamie Lee Curtis but Stephanie Hsu has a far more complex acting role than her as Deirdre. Wished Steph one instead. Glad EEAAO team won tons https://t.co/FkVwk3qmuI

I forgot Jamie Lee Curtis was in everything everywhere all at once so maybe we should reward her for her other works instead and give this one to Stephanie Hsu

STEPHANIE HSU. THATS THE FUCKING TWEET.

It’s not even that, it’s just that she was by far the least deserving of the win. “I see this more like a legacy award” so give her a fucking legacy award, don’t rob Kerry Condon or Stephanie Hsu who earned it way more

Just finished watching #EEAAO and yeah they deserved every single one of them #OSCARS . *stephanie hsu deserved best supporting actress tho*

kinda ridiculous if you think about it, to me, eeaao was primarily a mother-daughter movie. stephanie hsu’s character was a main one alongside michelle’s. and you’re telling me jamie lee curtis went home with an oscar instead pic.twitter.com/ywh7Ev2lTe
