    Stephanie Hsu's remarkable performance in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' deserved recognition at the Oscars, yet she was snubbed in favor of Jamie Lee Curtis for Best Supporting Actress. Hsu's portrayal of Joy Wang aka Jobu Tupaki in the film brought a depth and nuance to the character that made her stand out in a crowded field of talented actresses. Her emotional range and comedic timing added a unique dimension to the film, and her absence from the list of nominees is a disappointing oversight. Despite this snub, Hsu's performance is a testament to her talent and a reminder of the impact that underrepresented voices can have in Hollywood.
