Kathy Bates recounted an iconic Oscars moment she shared with Meryl Streep after the two lost the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2003.
The “Matlock” star told Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his “Dinner’s On Me” podcast on Tuesday that Streep “sailed by” during a commercial break and dragged her to the bar. The two Academy Award winners lost to “Chicago” star Catherine Zeta-Jones that year.
“It was a very Joan Crawford-Bette Davis moment,” Bates said. “She slammed her evening bag down on the bar and said, ‘I’m having a vodka, straight, neat,’ and I slammed my evening bag down, I said, ‘I’m having what she’s having,’ and we tossed it.
