Legendary actress Angela Bassett expressed her belief that she should have won an Oscar for her performance in Black Panther 2. Bassett’s portrayal of Queen Ramonda in the Marvel Cinematic Universe production garnered extensive praise and recognition, earning her Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Awards in the supporting actress category. Additionally, she received an Academy Award nomination in 2023 but was beaten by Jamie Lee Curtis for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Recently, Bassett has opened up about her composed reaction to her loss, which sparked some criticism online.
Angela Bassett comments on not winning an Oscar for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
During a recent conversation, Angela Bassett explained her immediate response upon Curtis’ 2023 Oscar victory, an event that quickly became a trending topic online. She further added that she felt Curtis truly deserved the award for his performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
In an interview with Town & Country magazine, the 66-year-old actress expressed her intrigue by stating, “It’s fascinating to me that I wasn’t allowed to feel disappointed over an outcome where I believed I deserved better.” Later, she showed her kindheartedness by saying, “I truly enjoy celebrating others,” before discussing why the loss impacted her so deeply. “Yes, I have invested: invested my time and effort over a long period. I didn’t consider that a privilege. I thought it was a given,” she explained.
In a remarkable career milestone, Angela Bassett earned her second Oscar nomination for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which was also her swan song in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her first nomination, dating back to 1994, came from her exceptional performance as Best Actress in What’s Love Got to Do With It. In this latest film, Bassett’s character met a tragic end at the hands of Tenoch Huerta Mejía’s Namor.
After her 2023 loss at the Academy Awards, Bassett ultimately received an Honorary Oscar in 2024.
