Now, she boasts one nomination and one win.

Some expected the Oscar to go to actress Angela Bassett for her performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The nod for Best Supporting Actress was Bassett’s first since 1994, when she was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Tina Turner in the biopic What’s Love Got to Do with It.
