Well, this is embarrassing. According to this blind item, one of the ladies who was nominated for an award last night counted her eggs before they hatched, and then when none of her eggs actually hatched, she pulled that classic high school move of skipping off to the bathroom with your BFF to cry it out. What a Debbie Downer, huh?
From Blind Gossip:
It must be difficult sitting there in front of billions of people waiting for your name to be called. It must be even more difficult when it isn’t. This actress did a good job pretending to be happy for the winner of this award last night, but behind the scenes was a different story.
She was seen in a corner of the bathroom being consoled by a friend for her loss. While she was not wailing or screaming in a dramatic fashion, there were definitely some tears and some nose blowing going on. One of them was also saying, “It’s not fair… it’s not fair!” although we honestly don’t know if those words were uttered by the actress or the friend who was helping her. The good news is that she did manage to pull it together enough to attend more than one party during the evening… plus there’s always next year.
Who could it be?
A lot of people are guessing Viola Davis, who was nominated for Best Leading Actress for her role in The Help. Many people thought she was a shoo-in for the award, and many people were upset that she lost to Meryl Streep. Personally, I really, really don’t think it’s Viola. Granted, I don’t know that much about her, but from what I have seen, she seems way too classy and gracious to pull something like this.
Lots of people are also guessing that Rooney Mara could be the actress throwing the fit, and I like that guess much better. She was also nominated for Best Leading Actress, but from what I gathered, pretty much no one thought she would win. However, she does think she’s such a gift to the entertainment industry, and she often has the attitude that she’s too good for all of these horrid films these days, so I really wouldn’t be surprised if she sincerely thought she was going to win. Rooney’s my guess.
Still, other people are swearing it’s Michelle Williams, another Best Leading Actress contender, and other people are saying since the item on Blind Gossip was accompanied by a photo of nominees for Best Supporting Actress, it has to be one of those ladies, but I don’t know. Of course, Octavia Spencer won that award, with the other nominees being Melissa McCarthy, Berenice Bejo, Jessica Chastain, and Janet McTeer. Melissa definitely wouldn’t act like this, but I don’t really know anything else about the other ladies.
So there’s all the information. What do you guys think? No matter who it is, how embarrassing, right?
It was me
I hate blind items because I want to know who it is :(
I hope it’s Rooney Mara.
I’m guessing it was Rooney Mara. She is just annoying…
I’m with you. However, that awful dress she wore may have brought her to tears.
Did anyone else notice Violia stand up to go accept the award by accident? Funny sad stuff.
(Streep totally deserved it though)
Here’s that footage.

It makes me think, did she get up to cry in the bathroom???????????????????? Zomg.
I think it was just a standing ovation.
I thought that too…but then the whole audience gave Meryl Streep a standing ovation. So maybe she was just being respectful? Although…she did kind of spring up out of her seat.
I remember seeing her spring out of her seat and I had an “oh no” moment, which suddenly turn into an “oh, well played” moment.
Can’t be anyone other than Viola Davis, everyone, who’s anyone, predicted Viola would win for best actress. Really, Viola and Meryl were the ones who were going to win, the others weren’t even close, but there had to be other nominees.
What actress in their right mind (maybe an oxymoron?) would think they had *anything* in the bag, going up against Meryl Streep??? (And Glenn Close, for that matter.) I think Michelle Williams is too classy, anyway. I’d say one of the supportings is more likely.
“hissy fit” and “Roony” don’t really go together. She came into this knowing she wasn’t going to win. She’s being respectful and paying her dues. She’s a classy gal, whether or not she annoys you.
it wasn’t Viola Davis-she was pretty much always the first one to stand up for the standing ovation&i’m sorry but do you know how many times a black woman has won an oscar for best actress? yeaaaaaah…so she definitely did NOT think she was going to win going in
