Bradley Cooper’s Camp ‘Walking On Eggshells’ Following Oscar Snub: ‘He Was Actually Sulking’

A star is pissed. Bradley Cooper is “very disappointed” after being snubbed for a Best Director Oscar nomination. So much so, that his camp is “walking on eggshells” around him, a source tells In Touch exclusively.

“He should be grateful that A Star Is Born got nominated for Best Picture and he and Lady Gaga were nominated for Best Actress and Best Actor, but that’s not the case,” the insider dished.

The Academy unveiled its 2019 Oscar nominations early on Tuesday, Jan. 22, and the actor, 44, is “beyond upset about it.” The source continued, “The day the nominations were announced was a dark day in the Cooper camp. Everyone was expecting he’d get a director’s nomination,” after all, he got one for the Golden Globes. “When it didn’t happen, there was dead silence. No one wanted to talk to Bradley that day, and his team made sure everyone that did handled him with kid gloves.”

Very Excited to be a Part of That,” he captioned several selfies. “Congratulations To The One and Only @ladygaga for Her Nomination For Best Actress . She Really Deserves it !!!
