She didn’t take home the Emmy for her performance in Feud.
But actress Jackie Hoffman, 56, put on quite the show when she lost to Big Little Lies Laura Dern, 50, Sunday night at the 69th Emmy Awards.
When Laura’s name was announced as the winner for her portrayal of Renata Klein on the HBO show, the camera showed the other nominees.
Sore loser? Actress Jackie Hoffman put on quite the show when she lost to Big Little Lies Laura Dern Sunday night at the 69th Emmy Awards, screaming ‘Dammit’ to the cameras
Jackie was shown yelling ‘dammit’ over and over, seemingly agitated and forgetting the camera was on her.
Laura also beat Judy Davis from Feud: Bette and Joan, Regina King for American Crime, Michelle Pfeiffer for her role in The Wizard of Lies and Big Little Lies co-star Shailene Woodley.
Jackie, who is known for her dry humor was most likely kidding, although many took her seriously, chastising her for her rection.
The funny actress, who was nominated for playing Mamacita in Ryan Murphy’s FX series, was also busy tweeting during the ceremony, following up her outburst with a barrage of tweets.

‘Laura Dern had famous parents. Forgive me for being from real people,’ she began.
Dern is the daughter of actors Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern.
She added: ‘I hear that Laura Dern runs a child porn ring.’
The famous stand up comedian’s Twitter bio even reads ‘http://I’m kidding,’ so it’s assumed fans should not take her seriously.
It’s more than likely Hoffman was joking and it was part of a spoof, channeling Joan Crawford’s own spitefulness at the 1963 Academy Awards.

As depicted in Hoffman’s show Feud, Crawford responded to being snubbed for a nomination that year by calling every single other nominee and offering to accept the award on their behalf if they couldn’t make it to the ceremony.
Her rival and co-star Bette Davis was nominated when she was not.
Anne Bancroft ended up winning and didn’t attend the ceremony, so Joan upstaged Bette by having her time in the limelight.
Jackie started the entire spoof weeks ago when she released a video of herself calling all of the other nominees offering to accept on their behalf if they could not make it.
She even adopted the tone and affect of Joan Crawford from the series.
