The internet bawks at Angela Bassett’s Oscar snub
Did you catch that Oscar ceremony on March 12th? Ariana DeBose said Angela Bassett killed it in her role as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. And even though she got a nomination for ‘Best Supporting Actress’, she didn’t win the award. Jamie Lee Curtis took it home for her performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Fans were not feeling this at all and are calling it a straight-up snub. They’re taking to social media to voice their opinions. Some people are saying that Angela looked disappointed when Jamie won. She hasn’t said anything about it publicly though.
The crazy thing is, Angela won a Golden Globe for the same role not too long ago. Fans were thinking she was a lock for the Oscar. But Jamie’s win isn’t a total surprise either. She also won a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award for ‘Outstanding Performance By A Female Actor In A Supporting Role’ for her part in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
What do you think? Should Angela have won the Oscar instead? Hit us up and let us know.
