Oscars 2023: Angela Bassett's Fans Outraged Over Best Supporting Actress Snub
03/12/2023 10:49 pm EDT
She should have one already
Many fans are still in disbelief that Bassett hasn't won an Oscar yet. Still, she continues to put on some of the best work in the industry.
Boycott the Oscars
It's been long felt that the Academy doesn't value Black talent. Years ago, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith called on their peers to boycott the ceremony for that very reason. It may be time to reconsider that option.
A disgrace
Bassett joins a long list of Black actresses who have been overlooked in not only award wins, but even award nominations. There's no reason Bassett shouldn't have at least one Oscar under her belt.
It was a set up
Some viewers had a feeling Bassett would lose as they felt the Academy put her category too close to the beginning of the ceremony. It's typically further out in the schedule.
Unbelievable
Name one movie Bassett played in that was a flop, or at least her character was not portrayed with conviction. It's impossible to do so, making this loss even more upsetting.
Exhale
One of Bassett's most iconic scenes is when her character Bernadine sets her cheating husband's car ablaze in Waiting to Exhale. After her second Oscar win, fans are ready to put fire to the Academy.
