 "'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' actress Angela Bassett on her Oscar 2023 loss: 'Was disappointed & handled it like...'")
Angela Bassett has remembered the Oscars of 2023 when she was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and how it felt when she didn’t win the prestigious honor. She opened up in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Angela revealed, “I thought I handled it very well, also. And that was my intention, to handle it very well. It was, of course, a supreme disappointment, and disappointment is human. So I thought, yes, I was disappointed, and I handled it like a human being.”
She added, “There are going to be these moments of disappointment that they’re going to experience, but how do you handle yourself in the midst of them? So, we’re going to smile, we’re going to be gracious, we’re going to be kind, we’re going to party — anyway.”
The stunning actress may not have won the Academy Award for her portrayal, she did bag the honor somewhere else though. Bassett won entertainer of the year at Saturday’s NAACP Image Awards on a night that also saw her take home an acting trophy for the television series “9-1-1.”
The Bassett-led Marvel superhero sequel “ _Black Panther: Wakanda Forever_ ” won best motion picture at the ceremony, which was broadcast live on BET from Pasadena, California. This was in February last year.
In its review of the aforementioned film, Firstpost observed, “Angela Bassett delivers a powerful performance as Queen Ramonda and leaves a great impact. Tenoch Huerta, who portrays the character of the lead antagonist Namor, plays his role to the T. However, there is less believability in his characterization. Also, Talokans and their underwater world remind us of James Cameron’s Avatar and doesn’t add any newness. But the best part of the film is that apart from treating fans with breathtaking action sequences, it makes an emotional connect through its narrative, which is filled with vulnerable moments.”
