'Total Hollywood bullsh*t': Frank Stallone thinks his brother was 'ripped off' at the Oscars

Sylvester Stallone was a heavy favorite to win this year’s Best Supporting Actor Oscar for reprising his Rocky role in “Creed,” but the award instead went to Mark Rylance for “Bridge of Spies.”

And Sly’s brother Frank is pissed:

Some people were right there with him:

@Stallone has a point. @TheSlyStallone was fantastic in @creedmovie https://t.co/pyjLXILIVD

But others thought Frank needed to dial it back a little:

@Stallone @hankscnn I know your brother is good, but Mark Rylance is a brilliant actor. Take time to look at some of his roles/work.

Wow. Frank Stallone is SO pissed off that his brother didn't win the Oscar, and rightly so, but it's not Mark Rylance's fault.

— Sophie Westhead (@SophieJovi) February 29, 2016

@Stallone why would he be embarrassed? He's one of the finest actors around. What has creating 2 icons got to do with who's the best actor?

Up until today, I didn't even know that there was another (lesser) @Stallone brother. Frank who? #StayClassy #Oscars #Creed #MarkRylance

@Stallone Come on dude, stay classy. It would have been a lifetime achievement award for Sly anyway.

— J. D. (@JD31557) February 29, 2016

@Stallone Mark Rylance is one of the best stage actors of all time and one of the best in general. Sad for Sly but no need to be insulting.

— Panagiotis (@Panapaok) February 29, 2016

@Stallone what a pathetic and disrespectful comment.

— Cherie Bennett (@interpolfan42) February 29, 2016

Word of warning to his critics, though: Frank doesn’t have the time or patience for your input.
