At present, we’re deeply engrossed in Awards Season, and everyone eagerly anticipates who will claim victory at the 2025 Academy Awards. Each year brings its own share of triumphs and disappointments as contenders vie for trophies. For instance, when Jamie Lee Curtis won Best Supporting Actress at the 2023 Oscars, it meant that Angela Bassett lost out on her win despite a stellar performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which is now available for streaming with a Disney+ subscription. Recently, the esteemed actress candidly shared her feelings about losing the award.
Despite having a distinguished career spanning over six decades and earning numerous accolades, Angela Bassett has only received two Oscar nominations. Remarkably, some of her finest performances in movies like ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ haven’t been acknowledged with an Academy Award nod. In an interview with Town & Country Magazine, the esteemed actress discussed her past missed opportunity for an Oscar win, which went viral due to her candid response. As Bassett put it:
It caught my attention that I couldn’t help but feel a sense of frustration, even though I believed the result didn’t match my expectations of what I deserved.
Her observation holds merit. It’s entirely understandable to feel let down or sad after not receiving an Oscar, especially since it was Bassett’s first nomination in quite some time. She didn’t behave disrespectfully; instead, she expressed a normal human reaction to disappointment. Here’s the moment for your reference:
During the interview, it was evident that Angela Bassett held significant anticipation for potentially winning an Oscar for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. However, when another actress won instead, this moment turned out to be one of the most unexpected highlights at the 2023 Oscars. In the same conversation, she shared her thoughts on not applauding the winner, JLC.
I love applauding people. But in that moment…
Ultimately, the film “Everything Everywhere All At Once” (available for streaming with a Max subscription) dominated many significant categories during that particular year’s Oscars. Notably, Jamie Lee Curtis‘ win came as somewhat of a shock, which Viola Davis acknowledged. Davis remarked:
I didn’t consider it a special favor; rather, I viewed it as something I needed to invest effort into over time – putting in the time and doing quality work.
Eventually, Bassett will receive an honorary Oscar the following year for her long-standing powerful performances. She truly earned her due recognition, and it’s heartening to witness that the Academy acknowledged the actress with well-deserved praise after her Best Supporting Actress nomination loss. Indeed, she was a vital emotional pillar in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
In the sequel, Angela Bassett’s character, Queen Ramonda, met her end. However, due to her widespread appeal, some fans are keeping their fingers crossed for her reappearance in future Marvel films. Yet, it seems unlikely that she will appear in any of the movies slated for release in 2025.
