Angela Bassett Has Gone Viral After Refusing To Hide Her Disappointment When She Lost The Best Supporting Actress Oscar To Jamie Lee Curtis
Of all the standout moments from the 2023 Oscars, Angela Bassett’s reaction to losing the award for Best Supporting Actress to Jamie Lee Curtis has taken the internet by storm.
Kevin Winter / Getty ImagesEvidently overwhelmed, she seemingly mouthed “Shut up!” as she stood up to accept the award on stage. And by the time the end of her heartwarming speech, Jamie Lee was in tears as she exclaimed: “I just won an Oscar!”
Kevin Winter / Getty ImagesAlso nominated in that category were Hong Chau (The Whale), Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin), Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once), and Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever).
Kevin Mazur / Getty ImagesAngela reprised her role as Queen Ramonda — the grieving mother of T’Challa — in last year’s hit Black Panther sequel. She took on the emotional role while grieving the real-life death of her costar Chadwick Boseman, and she was simply incredible.

Kevin Mazur / Getty ImagesWhat’s more, Angela was the first person to be nominated for a performance in a Marvel film at the Oscars. The Academy typically doesn’t regard Marvel movies in the same vein as other films; no other actor has ever been nominated for a role in a Marvel film, and the original Black Panther was the first and only Marvel movie to receive a nomination for Best Picture.
YouTubeWith this in mind, Angela appeared devastated when Jamie Lee was announced as the winner of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar on Sunday night.

YouTubeMeanwhile, fellow nominee Kerry Condon also seemed as though she wasn’t thrilled by Jamie Lee’s win, but Stephanie Hsu and Hong Chau cheered in evident excitement.
YouTubeAngela’s reaction has since garnered widespread attention online. Several viewers were upset that Angela didn’t immediately show support for Jamie Lee by applauding or appearing more visibly excited at that moment.
Stefanie Keenan / Getty Images for TIME“Regardless of who you think should’ve won, it was poor on Angela Bassett’s part to just sit there miserably when Jamie won and not be happy for her,” one person tweeted.

Sadly, the Academy has done little to acknowledge its lack of persity since its first-ever awards show in 1929. In fact, the accolade for Best Actress has only ever been won by one Black woman — Halle Berry — and that was in 2001.
YouTubeFor this reason, many people argued that Angela’s visible upset towards being “snubbed” was representative of much more than her simply losing. Angela was praised by fans for refusing to hide her devastation.

“Silent [disappointment] doesn’t equate to rudeness. Also, everyone wants to talk about Angela Bassett’s reaction & yet they ignore Kerry [Condon’s reaction] when Jamie Lee Curtis’ name was called,” one person wrote, adding: “Double standards.”
