MovieChat Forums > Angela Bassett Discussion > Angela Bassett doesn’t clap for Jamie Le...

If she wasn't feeling it, at least she was authentic. Can't blame her for that. In fact, I applaud honesty over white lies.

Just seems like more black fragility to me.

When Lauren Bacall lost, not only did she now clap, she scowled.

I think it's a lot more about the person.

Add to it that at at age 65 this may well have been her last chance to win one.

If Jamie Lee Curtis had been a fellow black actress, Angela's reaction would have been more like this:

You got that right!

Is she racist?

reply

Bitch has never given a performance worthy of an Oscar, yet she and others believe she's entitled to one.

reply

It’s racist by the whites in the academy! They should have voted negro, voted black!

For the last several years all the award shows have been rewarding entertainers just for being black. That's over for now, and she should have gotten the memo when The Woman King didn't get a best picture bid.

How many black people have won Oscars over the past few years? Not that many. Your claim that entertainers are being rewarded just for being black is ridiculous and blatantly untrue, not to mention racist and ignorant.

reply

Unless the eventual winner has personally hurt or insulted you in some way, you applaud them. It's called class.
