A TIME-HONOURED tradition of the Oscars is that as the winners are announced, all the losers have to don their best Loser Face on live camera feed.
We’ve seen some great loser reactions in our time. So which are you? Take this searing personality quiz to find out.

Accept it with good grace, but feel upset at the injustice.

Play it cool as if you meant to do it.
Make a big show of smiling and brushing yourself off, while inwardly screaming in agony.
Get up with a rueful yet knowing laugh, as if this small incident merely confirms your ongoing disappointment with things in general.
Just lie there crying.
