@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.

Stephanie Hsu's character who was like you know the main characters daughter/main antagonist/secondary main character....

— ??NSF-Mads?? (@TheVoidLeaper) March 13, 2023

what the fuck do you mean by jamie lee curtis won the best supporting actress role instead of stephanie hsu

— elle (@uglycinema) March 13, 2023

They both did well, but only Stephanie Hsu gave an Oscar-worthy performance. https://t.co/t2KD4jWGaV

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

Stephanie Hsu was snubbed for real.

I can't even begin to express my anger and dismay that Angela Bassett did not win the thing!!! And JLC?!? At least if not Angela Bassett, then Stephanie Hsu...
