Historically significant films like 'Elvis' need Black writers, producers and Director..
I can't trust these thieving cacs to present the truth as is.

They fukk with Comic Book shyt when its “dark” and mimics other genres and when the actors are white (Heath Ledger. Joaquin Phoenix)
The fact that Angela was even nominated as a BLACK WOMAN in a comic book movie is actually a testament to how respected she is as an actress and how her performance (specifically the “Have I Not Given EVERYTHING!!?!” Scene) resonated with voters. I know it sounds like a backhanded compliment (because it is) but her nomination was a hell of a breakthrough for comic book based performances in general.

Why do we give a fukk about Angela Bassett losing at a white one?
Because whether we want to acknowledge it or not, winning an Oscar is a HUGE boon for an actor’s career financially and professionally. Even Oscar winners who end up having the “worst” careers can get top billing in tv shows, limited series, stage plays, etc. Angela Bassett winning an Oscar pretty much guarantees her top billing in ANY film project ($$$), the ability to gain producing credit ($$$) get passion projects off the ground ($$$)
Now in Angela Basset’s case, she’s so well respected she’ll ALWAYS have a job in Hollywood. But an Oscar would get her more clout to do projects SHE wants instead of auditioning or just taking whatever is offered

Pretty much. Comicbook films aren’t taken seriously by the academy. They respect horror and slasher films more. And I don’t blame them. Most comicbook films are…eh. But because adults love them now, they think that the academy should love and respect them too.cause Jamie Lee Curtis BODIED that role.
IDK what people expect man.
Praising comic book shyt aint whats hot.
Having said that, Angela is way too damn good of an actress to not have at least one!
Only two franchises in comic books do they care about.
Batman
Spiderman
That’s it.
Everything else no one cares about besides fandom kingdoms that go to some new useless movie every 2 months for some greater ambiguous plot of nonsense and blurry action scenes.
I mean, at this point. They should just give her an honorary Oscar for just being the actress and living legend that is Angela Bassett. No matter what role she morphs into that person/character and gives them depths that even the writers didn't know were there.

Yes you have Queen

How do you make sense of this:
You're admitting black people have their own award shows, are they of lesser value in the film industry?
Do we want to acknowledge white validation at the expense of dealing with racism is greater than independent black achievement or is it about getting paid in a system of white supremacy?
Black people can still get paid while maintaining a credible, financially lucrative, critically laudable career in a system of white supremacy while having their own independent, prestigious award show to rival the Oscars. We already have our own award shows and people in the film industry who can do what they do.
After the PhD Coli Black History professors break this down day in and day out why does the same conversation continue?
This thread is not about Angela Bassett, that's all.
And this:
At the same time?

Some of y’all are exhausting. Black performances don’t all have to be church sermon yelling and snot bubbles to be considered good. There’s no subtlety or nuance or any of that.
And I like Angela Bassett generally but y’all are gassing this shyt cause she was the only one. NOT cause you were precisely captivated by her performance

Cause y’all are stupid and need simple entertainment
Why we gotta keep lowering the bar for y’all?
