10. Sally Kirkland

We begin our journey of bad sportsmanship at the 60th Academy Awards ceremony from 1988.

The Best Actress category was stacked with names like Holly Hunter, Glenn Close, and perpetual nominee Meryl Streep. However, the award went to someone more famous for her musical abilities, as Cher picked up the gong.

Someone who couldn't "Believe" (d'ya get it? It's a Cher pun) that she hadn't won was the other nominee in the category, Sally Kirkland. Up for the title role in the movie Anna, Kirkland clearly thought she had it in the bag, if her face when she lost was anything to go by.

Upon hearing the singer's name being read out, Kirkland swings her head to the right and gives an almighty pout. Then, upon remembering she was on camera, she lights up in the biggest, fakest smile of all time.

The great irony of this situation is that the transition from disappointed to delighted and the fakeness of the entire thing shows just how good of an actor Kirkland really was.

Maybe if she'd have done that in Anna, none of this would have ever happened.
