Angela Bassett, known for her role as Queen Ramonda in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently shared her thoughts on her Oscar snub for her performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever at the 95th Academy Awards in 2023. The film, which paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, follows T'Challa's family as they defend their land and people in his memory. Notably, Letitia Wright's Shuri and Angela Bassett's Queen Ramonda took center stage alongside other cast members like Danai Gurira's Okoye and Winston Duke's M'Baku.
Despite receiving an Academy Award nomination for her exceptional performance, Bassett did not win the Best Supporting Actress award, which went to Jamie Lee Curtis for her role in Everything Everywhere All At Once. In an interview on Oprah's OWN Spotlight series, Bassett expressed her disappointment at not winning, describing it as a 'supreme disappointment' and acknowledging the human aspect of feeling let down.
