Poor Sam Smith. He's just after winning an Oscar, this technically should be the best week of the 23-year-old's life, but he appears to be having a bit of a mare, due in part to backlash from the fact Gaga didn't win Best Song at the awards. The singer also reportedly "hated every minute" of his performance on Sunday night... Then he made something of a gaff during his acceptance speech by inferring he was the first "openly gay" man to win an Oscar.
Lastly, there was that whole scenario involving Dustin Lance Black tweeting this... and the internet going wild.
Hey @SamSmithWorld, if you have no idea who I am, it may be time to stop texting my fiancé. Here's a start: https://t.co/8hGTRtIaMK

In the wake of all that, Smith posted the following to twitter...
Second openly gay man to win an oscar or third or fourth or 100th, It wasn't my point.

He then posted this last night.
