Angela Bassett Agreed In Resurfaced Interview That She Was Snubbed Of An Oscar After Starring As Tina Turner

In a throwback interview with Andy Cohen on his show Watch What Happens Live, the host relayed a fan's comment to the legendary actress.

"John from Costa Rica said, 'I always felt Angela was robbed of the Oscar for her portrayal of Tina Turner. What are her feelings?'" Cohen said.

Without hesitation, Bassett responded by hitting her fist on her armchair and let out a little chuckle, "Yeah, me too." The Academy Award-nominated actress lost the coveted prize that year to Holly Hunter for her role in The Piano.

“Good, I agree,” Cohen concurred, People reports.

"John from Costa Rica" isn't the only one still upset over the loss. People took to Twitter to rehash the moment.

And someone even created a petition to award Bassett with an Oscar for the role.
