Angela Bassett has defended her “disappointment” about losing the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress back in 2023.
Although she didn’t take home the Oscar in 2023, she did receive an honorary Oscar in 2024, which paid tribute to all of her achievements in the entertainment industry.
Bassett was up for an Academy Award in 2023 for her role in ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’.
While accepting the honor at the 14th Governors Awards, she gave a shout-out to other Black industry stars, such as Jennifer Hudson, Ariana DeBose, Viola Davis, and Octavia Spencer.
The 66-year-old actor was nominated for her role as the Queen of Wakanda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
