<p id=”par-4_80″>Speaking on behalf of <a href=”https://www.covers.com/casino” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Covers</a>, Stanton told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “Jessie Buckley’s response to winning was absolutely authentic and from the heart. She put her hands over her face, an instant and genuine response to her feelings in that moment. She appeared genuinely in awe of winning … She was almost shaking with excitement and shock, which is a very genuine response. Her posture was also straight, and she was gripping the Oscar because it clearly means so much to her.</p>
<p id=”par-5_65″>“Analyzing the other nominees, Kate Hudson appeared to flash massive disappointment. The moment Jessie’s name was announced, Kate’s nose crinkled and she had an upturned mouth, which is called a horseshoe smile. That was basically Kate’s initial response to losing — she seemed gutted. While she did appear happy for Jessie, she seemed to be the most disappointed out of the other Best Actress nominees.”</p>
