Black Twitter is justly appalled and peeved at the Academy Awardâs disrespect for awarding the legendary and astounding actress Angela Bassett an Honorary Oscar award.
The Academyâs Board of Governors dared to announce on Monday that the Whatâs Love Got To Do With It actress will be presented with an Honorary Oscar award at the Academyâs 14th Governors Awards on Saturday, Nov. 18, 2023, taking place at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
Her breakthrough role as Tina Turner landed her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and she received her second nomination for portraying Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which she wasnât happy toÂ
lose, as seen in the viral video displaying her subtle disappointed look when Jamie Lee Curtisâ name was called instead of hers.https://twitter.com/SpencerAlthouse/status/1635079752439705601?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwâ target=â_blankâ rel=ânoopener
Bassett became an esteemed actress due to her superior work in movies like The Jacksons: An American Dream, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Black Panther, Avengers: Endgame, Akeelah and the Bee and more. Yet, the Academyâs Board thought the worldâs most prominent actress deserved an Honorary Oscar award, not the real thing.
Black Twitter quickly slammed the Board for its disrespect.
