Brian Tyree Henry Takes Over Interview with Angela Bassett

James welcomes Angela Bassett and Brian Tyree Henry (who just so happens to be an Angela Bassett superfan) to the show. After Brian explains how influential Angela has been on his own acting career, James turns over the hosting gig to Brian and lets him interview his idol himself. After two hard hitting questions from Brian, James takes back over the hosting duties and asks Angela Basset about her first Oscar nomination for “What’s Love Got To Do With It” and how the industry has changed since those days. Then Brian Tyree Henry shares about his recent trip to Australia where he learned pretty much everything there can and will kill you.

This was such a magical interview..the black beauty inside and out of both of these incredible artists, and their immense respect for each other radiated through my screen!!! Love this💞💞💞

[@2Talented]

She deserves Every last flower she is being given. Beautiful to see Brian being vocal about her influence. We need to uplift our Legends more while they are still here.

[@bill000]

Now they are both Oscar nominated 👏🏻👏🏻

[@jako3214]

By miles (outta the gate) the 3 biggest Oscar *royal F ups of the last 30-35 years were Angela NOT winning in 1994, and Glenn Close not winning in both 1988 and 2019! Angela as Tina was the OG 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'Elvis'. Tbh she slayed it more than those 2 did! She was fng exceptional!! Criminally robbed for that masterpiece.

[@filmgirlLisa]

Angela in that color...💓💗💗

[@Baernhardiner]

She has to be brought back to Black Panther 3, now she has made such an impact.

[@k1988smith]

That should have been the original plan anyway!!

[@RDramatica]

Damn right!

[@CeliniacForLife]

There's a third one?

[@andrew2155]

Angela’s finally getting her flowers, rightfully so. Let’s not forget about the good brother Brian Tyree Henry. If you haven’t seen Causeway definitely check it out because it’s his best performance.

[@lindawitherspoon8023]

Angela Bassett is a true queen and she should be treated as one! I Love Angela Bassett in Black Panther Wakanda Forever"👑💖

[@dakotac180]

Brian is awesome but Angela Bassett is a goddess. I think James is trying to get used to not being there anymore.

[@user-kf2oi4sq5b]

We have nothing but love for you Dame Angela Bassett ☺️❤️❤️

[@mernaloisbrown5809]

Congratulations to both Brian Tyree Henry and Angela Bassett on their Academy Award nominations for their phenomenal work in Causeway and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and it is well-deserved nominations and I am rooting for both of them to win, I love them both and they are the best.

[@Ibochic1]

Maybe 40. Still a good 20 yrs younger! Just a stunning woman.

[@annanims7876]

Not a day over 35 😊

[@virtuoso8642]

Angela is Mother. And Ryan Coogler was 100% wrong for killing off her character. It was just a really unnecessary part of the story. Not just because it’s Angela, but because Shuri did not have to lose *both parents plus her brother* . Make it make sense.

[@isimioyekunlemarktaiwo3643]

Cut off the sentiments, the story is about Shuri and her conflict with belief..she needs to experience a greater loss to come to terms and understanding. Angela performance was incredible but I will not use sentiments to cloud my mind.

[@destinychestnut5902]

But phase 4 was about grief.. it was def hard to watch but phase 4 had all MCU characters go through it 😂😂😂

[@missprissyrainbow]

Marvel made the decision. They needed to introduce Iron Heart for Phase 4/5 so fans would care about her importance since the Queen rescued her.

[@gracegreen1859]

Brian stated that perfectly about Angela Bassett. People don’t give her credit for creating her own lane. Which is a new path for new actresses to follow in Hollywood. I love to call it the integrity way to stardom. Not being a stereotype at all cost is groundbreaking and clearly doesn’t give you awards but it gives you a lifetime of love and respect around the world.
