<p>To quote <a href="https://twitter.com/alamanecer/status/1635078726357774336?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ariana DeBose</a>, <strong>Angela Bassett </strong>&#8220;did the thing&#8221; in<em> Black Panther: Wakanda Forever</em>. Her second-time portrayal of Queen Ramonda landed her an Oscar nomination for &#8216;Best Supporting Actress.&#8217; But <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/watch-angela-bassetts-son-slater-apologizes-to-michael-b-jordan-after-naming-him-in-dead-viral-prank/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bassett didn&#8217;t</a> take home the win on March 12.</p>
<p>Instead, <strong>Jamie Lee Curtis </strong>secured the award for her role in <em>Everything Everywhere All At Once. </em>And fans online had plenty to say about what the majority are calling a &#8216;snub.&#8217;</p>

<p>As for Angela, the actress hasn&#8217;t publicly commented on her loss. However, there&#8217;s a trending discussion about her assumed &#8216;disappointed&#8217; look when DeBose announced Lee as the winner.</p>
<p>Fans expected Angela to take home the award on Sunday night after she recently won <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/golden-globes-2023-quinta-brunson-and-zendaya-win-sheryl-lee-ralph-shades-kardashians-and-eddie-murphy-clowns-will-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a Golden Globe</a> for &#8216;Best Supporting Actress&#8217; for the same role.</p>
<p>Lee&#8217;s Oscar win is the second recent one for her <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once</em> role. Jamie also won the 2023 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards for &#8216;Outstanding Performance By A Female Actor In A Supporting Role.&#8217; Bassett was <a href="https://www.sagawards.org/awards/nominees-and-recipients/29th-annual-screen-actors-guild-awards?field_taxonomy_vocabulary_2_target_id=4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also nominated</a> for that category for her Queen Ramonda role.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Twitter Discusses Academy Awards Voting Process And Their Voters </strong></h3>
<p>The loss has also sparked conversations about the Academy Awards voting process. According to their website, most categories <a href="https://www.oscars.org/oscars/voting#:~:text=Most%20categories%20are%20nominated%20by,at%20our%20Rules%20%26%20Eligibility%20page." target="_blank" rel="noopener">receive nominations</a> from members within that line of work. For example, <em>&#8220;actors nominate actors.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>After the loss, writer and podcast host, <strong>Jemele Hill</strong>, shared screenshots of an <em>Entertainment Weekly </em>interview that highlighted the thoughts of four Academy Award voters.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Angela Bassett&#8217;s excellence is undeniable. But a reminder of the mentality she was up against in trying to win an Academy Award. Of course, not all voters think this way, but I&#8217;m guessing this isn&#8217;t the only voter that has these kinds of views,&#8221; Hill tweeted.</p></blockquote>
<p>In the article Hill shared, an <a href="https://ew.com/awards/oscars/2023-oscars-secret-ballot-academy-awards-voters-share-juicy-picks/?utm_campaign=entertainmentweekly_entertainmentweekly&;utm_content=new&;utm_medium=social&;utm_source=twitter.com&;utm_term=640a4e7227e6b0000148f8e1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anonymous male voter said</a> the Academy Awards are <em>&#8220;being held hostage&#8230;by the wokeness.&#8221; </em>The voter specifically criticized backlash over Viola Davis and Danielle Deadwyler&#8217;s lack of Best Actress nominations this year for their respective roles in <em>The Woman King</em> and <em>Till. </em></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;When they get in trouble for not giving Viola Davis an award, it&#8217;s like, no sweetheart, you didn&#8217;t deserve it. We voted, and we voted for the five we though were best,&#8221; the voter said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not fair for you to start suddenly beating a frying pan and say [they&#8217;re] ignoring Black people. They&#8217;re really not, they&#8217;re making an effort. Maybe there was a time 10 years ago when they were, but they have, of all the high-profile things, been in the forefront of wanting to be inclusive. Viola Davis and the lady director need to sit down, shut up, and relax. You didn&#8217;t get a nomination&#8211;a lot of movies don&#8217;t get nominations. Viola, you have one of two Oscars, you&#8217;re doing fine.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Michael B. Jordan And Jonathan Majors Show Angela Bassett Love</strong></h3>
<p>Minutes after Jamie gave her winning speech, Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors showed Angela some love on the Oscars stage. The <em>Creed III </em>actors started their presentation of the Best Cinematography award by greeting Bassett.</p>
<p>Jordan said, <em>&#8220;hey auntie&#8221;</em>&#8211;a throwback to the first time his <em>Black Panther </em>character Killmonger met Bassett&#8217;s character Queen Ramonda. Majors followed up with,<em> &#8220;we love you.&#8221; </em>The shoutout was viewed as a moment of solidarity online.</p>

<p>Following the show, Angela attended the <em>Vanity Fair </em>after-party, donning a smile and a red pantsuit with a flared matching top. She even posed with <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/megan-thee-stallion-vanity-fair-oscars-party-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Thee Stallion</a>, who popped out for the festivities in a rare appearance since the end of Tory Lanez&#8217;s trial in December.</p>
