Despite getting nominated for an Oscar Award twice, Angela Bassett has yet to win it. In a recent 2023 interview, the actress talked about what it felt like losing her first Oscar nomination but Angela Bassett’s reply was as elegant as ever.
Angela Bassett Doesn’t Believe In Oscar Snubbing
Back in 1993, Angela Bassett portrayed the role of Tina Turner in the film, What’s Love Got to Do with It. For her iconic role, the actress was nominated for the Best Actress category but she lost. Speaking in a 2023 interview with CBS Mornings, Bassett revealed that she doesn’t believe in Oscar snubbing.
“Of course, in the moment you’re hoping and praying and wishing [you’ll win]. But I never – I don’t walk away thinking ‘I’ve been robbed.’ That’s too negative of an emotion to carry with me for the rest of my life. I choose to believe there was a reason why it didn’t happen.”
With her years in Hollywood, the actress will be presented with an Honorary award in 2024. Alongside the Robert De Niro series, Bassett is attached to 2 other upcoming projects in various stages of development.
