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.

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

  4. 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…..

  14. 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.

    • 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

  17. 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!

    • 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.

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

    • 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.

  27. 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”.

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

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

  35. 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”

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

  39. 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.

  40. 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

  48. Wild guess, Margot Robbie? The others seem too old to cry in public like that.
    Optional: I can say with some authority that I wouldn’t cry. I was up for an honor that in my profession would be kind of like an Oscar, I suppose. Didn’t win, didn’t cry, was mostly glad I wouldn’t have to give a speech.

  50. 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!
