While sitting down for a dialog with Oprah Winfrey final week, the Marvel star mirrored on her viral response:
“I thought I handled it very well … And that was my intention, was to handle it very well.”
She continued:
“It was, of course, a supreme disappointment, and disappointment is human. So I thought, yes, I was disappointed and I handled it like a human being.”
So properly stated! We imply, we will solely think about how disappointing it could be to lose out on one of the vital prestigious awards in Hollywood whenever you’re THAT shut!
Oprah famous that she “didn’t get the whole ‘Angela Bassett face’” ordeal, including that the Malcolm X star was “still as gracious as a queen would be.” Angela responded:
“Absolutely. For myself and for my children, who were there with me, yes. I know a pastor who says ‘technology is different — people are the same.’ There are going to be these moments of disappointment that they are going to experience. But how do you handle yourself in the midst of them? We’re going to smile, we’re going to be gracious, we’re going to be kind — we got a party, anyway.”
We love that!! Hopefully one 12 months, Angela WILL be capable of take residence an Oscar.
