Angela Bassett has defended her widely shared “disappointment” reaction after Jamie Lee Curtis won the 2023 Oscar.
The 66-year-old actress said in an open interview with Town & Country that she was worthy of Jamie’s Oscar.
The Black Panther star told the site, “I thought it was interesting.” “Interesting that I wouldn’t be permitted to feel let down by a result that I believed I deserved.”
“I enjoy giving people applause.” However, at that time… Angela went on. “I have worked hard and always produced quality work. That didn’t seem like a present to me. I assumed it was inevitable.
For those who don’t know, Angela received a nomination for best supporting actress in the 2023 Academy Awards.
