Angela Bassett has remained quiet after the Oscars snub for “Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever.” While fans felt she was “robbed” from winning the Oscars for portraying the Black Panther matriarch, the actress says she didn’t feel “robbed” for not winning an Oscar for her role as Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” Bassett has been named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2023, and the moment was marked with praise from Tina Turner. Turner says she was skeptical about Bassett, but says after watching her hard work on the character, Turner felt she was perfect to portray her. “You never mimicked me. Instead, you reached deep into your soul, found your inner Tina, and showed her to the world,” said Turner. The full interview is featured in Time Magazine’s last issue.
