Oscar Bathroom Sobs

[Blind Gossip] This actress was one of the nominees at last night’s Academy Awards. She did not win. And she did not take it well.

She was crying hard. Not like one little tear but all-out sobbing. She seemed shocked that she lost. She really thought she was going to win. There was somebody with her in the bathroom consoling her and telling her that she should be so proud of herself. I could tell she was embarrassed about crying so I pretended not to notice and just hurried up and got out of there. They were trying to fix her makeup when I left.

She was not favored to win, so we do not know why the loss was so shocking to her.

    I would think Greta Gerwig because she was the only woman nominated for best director and this year especially, she may have thought she would win.

  4. CountessLurkula says

    Sally Hawkins, she looked a mess when on stage at the end of show when they announced Best Picture.

  6. TheSalmon says

    Mary J. Blige — who was likely sobbing NOT about the best supporting actress award but about the best song award, which she absolutely should have won.

  11. crazycatlady says

    Saoirse Ronan — She’s young. Maybe just all the hype and excitement being over led to her sobbing too? I doubt she really believed she would win, but the emotion of the moment probably got to her.

    When I was her age, yes, I probably would have cried. Now? Nah. I’d be honored to be in the nominees.

    Poor lady. That’s OK. I’ve let my face hang out before, too, many times when something mattered to me. I understand that it was something she was really interested in and looked forward to the possibility of. The fact that she was not favored to win did not affect her hopes and I appreciate that. It’s OK to have a heart AND to show it!

    [Optional] Do you think you would cry if you lost? Well, you can already tell from my post; probably.

    Actress: Greta Gerwig

    I know it says actress, and not director, but Greta did start out as an actress and Ladybird is only her directing project + the blind doesn’t mention which category this woman was nominated in.

    I can’t see Margot or Saoirse crying over the Oscar because everyone knew it was going to Frances, and the rest of the leading or supporting nominees were veteran actresses. I think Greta thought she’d get it because of the fuss about her being the only female in her…

  18. battlekoala says

    Mary J. Blige. She appeared to be crying even when they cut to her after announcing the winner.

  21. PollyMetropolitan says

    My guess is Margot Robbie.

    I don’t think I would cry if I lost. I might be disappointed, but if I cried over it, it would probably be more because of the adrenaline of the night, and I would never let someone see me!

  25. dadiegirl says

    Laurie Metcalf? The look on her face when Allison Janney won was one of stunned disbelief. IMHO

  26. cantbearsed says

    Saoirse Ronan or Margot Robbie? Robbie had to learn to figure skate for her part. I can’t see any of the best supporting actresses doing this.

  27. Baileygirl says

    No idea on the actress. If you are brought up with the expectation that everyone gets a trophy, you will sorely disappointed because the Oscars doesn’t give out “participation ” trophies.”

  28. rosarybjork says

    Margot Roobie
    Yes, but I would do it in my car and carry makeup to fix the mess. The secret is to let tears dry and not rub or dab. There are so many good water proof cosmetics and concealers out there, I make it through funerals without much smearing.

  30. LizzieBennet says

    Margot Robbie, though I can’t fathom why she would take it so badly as she was never favoured to win…

  35. xxNYGirl says

    Actress: Margot Robbie – she looked like she was holding back tears while Frances McDormand was speaking.

    [Optional] Do you think you would cry if you lost?: If I truly believed I could win, then yes.

  39. lovefifteen says

    This is so weird because the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards were foregone conclusions. No one besides Francis and Alison were going to win.

  40. bcg0716 says

    I’ll assume Greta.

    They were all on her during the shoe so I’m sure that have her a sense of extra hope

  43. pflower says

    Margot robbie maybe. I’d say saoirse ronan but i think she was one of the preferred candidates, but i could be wrong.
    I would certainly cry out of disappointment if i thought i was going to win. I’m a cry baby ?

  44. Neduardo says

    Margot Robbie

    Hard to say as I am far from having the personality of an actress, but I can’t imagine pouring out gut wrenching tears in the bathroom.

    I suspect she is so devastated because she has an incredibly charmed run. She is going to have to develop some resilience and if she wants to stay in that industry long term!

  52. gemini1993 says

    maybe saoirse?? but i dont think it seems like her… tbh idk if i cried if i thought i really gave my all in a particular role then maybe

  53. widewideworld says

    Margot Robbie …. she was crying during Allison Janney’s speech … perhaps it was just the heightened emotions and the whole season. I’m sure it’s exhausting. Plus, championing a pretty unpopular story. She was pretty brave.

    I don’t think we’ll see the last of her! She’ll have more opportunities.

  56. annabelle77 says

    Margot Robbie for I, Tanya. I don’t know why, but I think she really had her hopes up, and thought she would win.

  57. Jelly Drop says

    I thought about this for a bit and it could be Mary J Blige. Nominated for best supporting actress and best song. Think the crying was over the fact she lost best song also.

    Before last night i think i would of been fine, but if i ever got nominated and lost i see myself sobbing into my water glass and saying “but Kobe effing Bryant has one! Waaaaaaaa”

  60. Vampira says

    Saoirse Ronan? It was clear that Frances and Allison had a lock on the female acting awards.

  62. Lou1156 says

    I don’t know. Laurie Metcalf? She was frontrunner before televised awards began.

  65. lucasj says

    I wouldn’t be surprised if this was Margot Robbie, as she was the producer as well and I can see it being a big disappointment when the movie is sort of “your baby”.

  71. uddlover says

    Margot Robbie?

    “She did not win. And she did not take it well.” Also referring to Tonya Harding?

    [Optional] Do you think you would cry if you lost? Yes. If I was McDormand.

    • KatarinaJ says

      She has a really long career ahead of her and this showed she can legit act so I don’t know why she’d cry. One of these one hit wonder type leads is the type who should be crying like Sally Hawkins who was wonderful but also very specific and not the first choice for leading lady perse. Makes more sense to me.

  72. Raoul Duke says

    Sally Hawkins

    No, it’s a power game behind the scenes. It’s not actually based on talent, its pushing/shoving/lobbying/favors. The studios want their film and cast to do well, as they put millions into project that could possibly bankrupt or damage their companies.

  75. bananabrain says

    I think Laurie Graham. Her performance in Lady Bird was amazing and easily deserving of the Oscar. Alison Janney was fabulous in I Tonya but Laurie’s role edged it for me. However she must have known the award was pretty locked down. She was probably overwhelmed by the occasion and maybe a bit tipsy too. It’s been a long awards season for them!

    • SouthJerseyGirl says

      Laurie Metcalf? I saw her on Broadway in “Misery” and she was wonderful. Really a great actress. She’ll get her Oscar one day I hope.

  78. Kingofboggle says

    Probably Margot Robbie
    This meant a lot to her. The nomination proved she isn’t just a pretty face and actually has acting chops. And in the weeks leading up, even if you know there’s a heavy favorite, I’m sure you can rationalize a scenario where you win. It was probably more of a release of a months worth of nervous tension than actual shock and sadness.

    • aaacharl says

      She co produced I, Tonya and was so proud of Allison’s win. She def didn’t leave the oscars a loser. I don’t see this blind fitting Margot, maybe Sally Hawkins or Saorise. Margot seemed stoked the entire night

  88. Gerseychick says

    Mary J. Blige
    She has had a tough year with the soon to be ex husband..He cheated and took all her money………….
    Next year..Miss Mary…..

  91. shelaur22 says

    I think it’s Sally Hawkins because she cried in the bathroom when she lost for Blue Jasmine.
