Angela Bassett openly shared her feelings about losing the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2023 to Jamie Lee Curtis. Despite her acclaimed role as Queen Ramonda in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' Bassett felt devastated and was taken aback by the online reaction to her disappointment. In her interview, she emphasized the hard work she put into her craft, challenging the expectation that she should not express her feelings about deserving recognition. Moreover, Bassett is currently starring in 'Zero Day' on Netflix alongside Robert De Niro, marking another major role in her career.
I found it interesting that I wouldn't be allowed to be disappointed at an outcome where I thought I was deserving.
No, I have put in: put in the time, put in good work over time. I didn't think that was a gift. I thought it was a given.
