Not everyone was thrilled about Casey Affleck winning Best Actor at the Oscars on Sunday.
Many viewers noticed that Brie Larson didn’t clap after presenting the award, and made no attempts to hug Casey.
The actress – who won Best Actress last year for Room – had also looked less than enthused when she presented a Golden Globe to the Manchester by the Sea star last month.

Brie is an advocate for victims of sexual assault, and Casey has been sued by two women for sexual harassment stemming from his time working on the film I’m Still Here.
He is rumoured to have settled the two cases for millions of dollars.
Last year at the Oscars, Brie hugged every one of the sexual assault survivors who appeared on stage with Lady Gaga for her performance of When It Happens To You.

And the 27-year-old – whose character in Room was a victim of sexual assault – wasn’t the only one who seemed less than impressed, as Chrissy Teigen was seen napping in the audience.
Although Brie didn’t appear happy about Casey’s win, she couldn’t have been more pleased to watch her close friend Emma Stone win Best Actress for La La Land.
She shared a photo of the pair hugging and crying backstage, writing, “You know what’s better than winning? Watching your friends win.”
