In 2023, Angela Bassett, at the age of 64, was poised to receive the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Marvel\u2019s \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever.\u201d Although she didn\u2019t win the Oscar, she was later awarded an Honorary Oscar in 2024 for her significant contributions to the art form, which was seen as a well-earned honor and recognition of her outstanding career.<\/p>\n
Despite receiving an Oscar, Angela Bassett has not achieved EGOT status. EGOT refers to individuals who have won all four major American entertainment awards: the Emmy, the Grammy, the Oscar, and the Tony. While Bassett has received numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, two Golden Globes, and a SAG Award, she has yet to win an Emmy, a Grammy, or a Tony.<\/p>\n
Angela Bassett has been nominated for an Emmy ten times, including two Daytime Emmy nods, for her work in projects such as \u201cThe Rosa Parks Story,\u201d \u201cAmerican Horror Story,\u201d and \u201cA Black Lady Sketch Show.\u201d Although she has been recognized by the Academy Awards with an honorary Oscar, her official Oscar win came for her role in \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for the Grammys and the Tonys, Bassett has not received nominations for either. Given her extensive career, which began in live theater with performances in works by August Wilson, there is still time for Angela Bassett to pursue EGOT status. Many in the industry consider her deserving of such recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
