How Many Awards Does Angela Bassett Have?

Angela has yet to win an Oscar. Although she lost to Jamie in 2023, she made history by becoming the first Marvel Studios actor to be nominated for an Oscar.

In addition to this year’s nomination, she was nominated for an Academy Award in 1994 for Best Actress for her portrayal of Tina Turner in the biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It. Holly Hunter took home the award for her work in the film The Piano.

Fans deemed Angela’s loss as a “robbery,” but the New York City native revealed she didn’t see it that way during a March 2023 interview with Gayle King.

“Of course, in the moment you’re hoping and praying and wishing [you’ll win]. But I never — I don’t walk away thinking ‘I’ve been robbed,’” she explained. “That’s too negative of an emotion to carry with me for the rest of my life. I choose to believe there was a reason why it didn’t happen.”
