This was at the Governor's Ball at the Oscars the year she was nominated for *What's Love Got to Do With It?* (She won the Globe but lost the Oscar to Holly Hunter, in *The Piano*. FYI, the category was STACKED that year. It was was also Stockard Channing in *Six Degrees of Separation*, Emma Thompson in *Remains of the Day* \[she was also the outgoing winner, having won the year before for *Howard's End\]*, and Debra Winger in *Shadowlands.* Holly Hunter is a worthy winner, though.) ## 1995 ![Angela Bassett Style Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/06/shutterstock_editorial_10365099a-1591237915.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Globe Photos/Mediapunch/Shutterstock (10365099a) Angela Bassett at the 6th Annual Fire and Ice Ball 1995 Angela Bassett 1995 This is SO 1995\.

There, she is introduced to the Browns, her father’s fun-loving, crass Southern clan. Brenda also finds romance along the way.

(He's in this movie, he's not just a fan.
