Bradley Copper, overlooked by the Oscars in the Best Director category for his maiden directorial effort "A Star Is Born", says he feels "embarrassed" by the snub.
The 44-year-old actor was in discussion with Oprah Winfrey on her "SuperSoul Conversations" on Tuesday, where he opened about the snub, saying it took him a while to overcome the disappointment.
"I was not surprised, I'm never surprised about not getting nominated... I was embarrassed. I was at a coffee shop in New York City and looked down at my phone and Nicole (Caruso, his publicist) has told me congratulations and said what we had been nominated for.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the actor revealed that his team refrained from telling him the "bad news". After hearing it, he felt "embarrassed that I didn't do my part".
When asked why he felt that way, Cooper said, "I felt embarrassed that I didn't do my part. Like, 'Oh gosh, I didn't do my job'."
