It seems like everything Angela Bassett touches turns to gold, because her performances have a special way of leaving a lasting impression on you for years to come.
And after watching her literally move viewers to tears in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as Queen Ramonda, fans are demanding the Academy to hand over the actual gold...an Oscar.
(Okay, so Oscars aren't really made of gold, BUT they are gold plated. That should count for something.)
Here's what people on Twitter are saying:
1.
two performances that stayed with me the most after watching black panther: wakanda forever was from tenoch huerta and angela bassett. both give incredibly captivating performances and how they expertly handle the nuances of grief was possibly the best i've seen in any cb movie

Angela Bassett deserves an Academy Award for pretty much every performance she has given on screen as far as I’m concerned

Spoiler free takeaways from Wakanda Forever: 1) Angela Bassett gave one of the best performances of her career. 2) DON'T SLEEP ON DANAI GURIRA EVER IN YOUR LIFE 3) I feel so bad for not knowing Tenoch Huerta before this, but I won't make that mistake again in the future!

Wakanda Forever was a 10/10. A touching tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman and a brilliant love letter to the incredible women of color in the MCU. Give Angela Bassett an Oscar nom for her strong as fuck performance #BlackPanther #Shuri #WakandaForever

Angela Bassett IS Queen Ramonda. Her performance was timeless. I loved her in black panther so much. #WakandaForever And she's fucking gorgeous.

Angela Bassett (who very well may be one of the most beautiful women on the planet) delivers powerful moments of sorrow and strength in every scene she's in as a grieving mother and queen. #WakandaForever #BlackPanther

...what got me was just watching Angela Bassett as a Queen clapback at France and the US alone was worth the price of admission....But then it keeps building......SPOILER....
14.
This may very well be one of the greatest moments in any Comic Book Movie. The raw emotionally gripping performance from Angela Bassett & Danai Gurira combined with the subject matter made for one of the most extremely powerfully hitting moments in #BlackPanther #WakandaForever
15.
Give Angela Bassett every damn acting award on this planet rn. And I mean every one. Queen Mother was everything and then some.
16.
Angela Bassett. WOW. All's I'm gonna say is if the academy have any ounce of shame she deserves at least an Oscar nomination for her performance. First of the MCU. #WakandaForever

@photonsmight No because Angela Bassett was delivering EVERY syllable in that read, that speech! Queen Ramona’s was so heartbroken and furious at the same time!! “I am of THE most POWER-FUL NATION in the WORLD and my EN-TIRE FAMILY is GONE… Have I not given EVERYTHING!!” Wow! Not a dry eye
18.
Angela Bassett acted her fucking heart out in this movie. I usually shrug off when MCU fans talk about Oscar Noms, but in this case I think it’s a real possibility 💀
19.
So I just finished seeing #WakandaForever and that movie was phenomenal. It was action packed, funny, sad, hopeful, it was all the things. Angela Bassett and Tenoch Huerta acted their asses off. I mean, they really killed their performances. I also was crying ten minutes in.
20.
Thinking about these 2 scenes. How the Queen uttered the heartbreaking & emotional “Have I not given everything?!” line in the Throne Room, amongst family. But gave us steely reserve during this council meeting, barely raising her voice above a whisper. Masterful. #WakandaForever

This scene took my breath away. Angela Bassett displaying what truly is a mother's rage but also that of a queen who was betrayed by her closest friend. And Danai Gurira grief stricken, mourning what a grave mistake she made. GIVE THEM THEIR OSCARS RN #WakandaForever
