Look How This Group of Male Oscar Attendees Reacted to This Woman Accepting Her Award

As Mad Max: Fury Road‘s costume designer, Jenny Beavan, proudly approached the stage of the Dolby Theatre to accept her Academy Award for Best Costumes a few faces (read: men) in the crowd decided not to clap for her. Maybe they weren’t fans of the Oscar-winning film’s costumes, maybe they felt that there should have been a different, more qualified winner, or maybe it was for a more completely ridiculous reason. We’ll go with the latter.

In a Vine posted shortly after the ceremony on Sunday, several men can seen throwing some openly judgmental looks at Beavan, who was dressed in a leather jacket and pants, and refusing to clap for her as she accepted her award. Uh, was she not dressed to their standards, or what? 

Beavan later addressed her outfit, simply claiming that all she wanted was to feel comfortable. 

“As far as I’m concerned, I’m really dressed up,” she said. 

Oh, Hollywood.
