The 76th annual Tony Awards were held Sunday night (Jun. 11, 2023), and Samuel L. Jackson‘s unimpressed reaction to losing has gone viral.
Jackson was nominated in the Best Performance By An Actor In A Featured Role In A Play category for his role in The Piano Lesson – a Broadway play by his wife LaTanya Richardson.
After Jackson was beaten to the award by Brandon Uranowitz (Leopoldstadt), cameras panned to the distinctly unimpressed look on his face.
Jackson, who also appeared to give an eye-roll at missing out on the award, has now become an immediate meme.
“Samuel L. Jackson does not have a good non-winner face. I’m sure his eye roll will be a meme,” one wrote, with another adding: “Samuel L. Jackson looked like Nick Fury after realizing he didn’t win his category.”
This year was the Django Unchained actor’s first time being nominated for a Tony. He received an honorary Oscar in 2022 and has won two NAACP Image awards.
