Vampire in Brooklyn
Strange Days
Waiting to ExhaleOn paper she should have been a contender for Exhale but I think she’s nod worthy for Strange Days. For Vampire I think she looked the prettiest.

Sadly she was never going to get any award traction for this outside of NAACP. The only black (directed) movies that made it to the Oscars back then were Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X and Boyz n The Hood. All masterpieces. Exhale was never happening
Strange Days is one of the most underrated movies of all time. Very ahead of its time, yet another great performance from the queen, my personal favorite from Bigelow. It could have had more attention if it didn’t flop so hard
And we really don’t need to talk about Vampire in Brooklyn. She looked stunningly beautiful as usual but the movie is.. straight up bad

James Cameron wrote her Strange Days’ role for her after seeing What’s Love Got To Do With It? And she approached McMillan for the Bernadine role before the adaption happened.

Strange Days is one of the best to come out of the nineties, and Bassett should have an Oscar for it… God, she’s good.

It’s been a while again but Angela should have been a contender for WTE. She gave one of the Best Performances. The 2nd since WLGTDII in which she should have won for playing Tina Turner

But had it been an all White cast starring Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Julia Roberts, & Kathy Bates…someone would’ve made it in.
Angela & Loretta Devine stole the show and deserved nominations.
Too Black YES but can you explain Moonlight PLEASE??!!

Moonlight was seen as a critical darling with artistic merit.
Waiting to Exhale is a romantic/comedy/drama/chick flick.
In a way YES but NOT much of a difference so your statement is not helping your case. They’re both TOO BLACK.

The Academy was NOT rewarding Black films in the 90s. That’s a fact. Nor have they nominated romantic comedies or chick flicks with an entire Black cast.
Things have slightly changed in the 2010s with the rise of Oscar So White. Not to mention, Moonlight is a more Oscar friendly movie.

#1 I am a GUY NOT a GIRL so saying it’s TOO BLACK rubbed me the wrong way.
#2 Yes things have changed with this era after the #OscarsSoWhite and they’re trying to get more diverse with members but you’re still NOT helping with your statement
