Did elizabeth Taylor get mad because john Wayne beat out Richard Burton for the Oscar in 69?

There's no evidence to suggest that Elizabeth Taylor was angry at John Wayne winning the Best Actor Oscar in 1969 over Richard Burton.

While Taylor and Burton were a famous couple at the time, and Burton was nominated for his performance in *The Lion in Winter,* it's unlikely Taylor would have been personally offended. She was an established actress in her own right and had won two Oscars herself (1961 for *Butterfield 8* and 1967 for *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?).

Furthermore, there's no record of any public statement or incident where Taylor expressed anger or disappointment about Wayne's win. It's important to avoid speculating on personal feelings without concrete evidence.

While the couple was known for their passionate relationship, it's more likely they were focused on their own careers and personal lives rather than dwelling on the outcome of the Academy Awards.
