ANGELA BASSETT DID THE THING

The thing, OP.

You know... The thing.

Everybody is doing the thing.

That Thing You Do?

Some hard left white gay male thing.

Yes, r2.

Do that to me one more time.

Ariana DeBose sang a tribute to the female nominees at the BAFTA awards last night, and one of the many terrible lines was "Angela Bassett did the thing."

The video is at the link, and it's really embarrassing.

Vi-ol-a Davis, my woman king

Yasss Kweens gonna Yasss Kween

Did she really do the thing? Or is she just being blamed for it?

R9 they be lying on her

She farted.😳

Can I just say: Angela BAssett is.. a lot. She is very intense and she always brings the drama. Last night when she was presenting it was just too much. I was sitting here laughing at her intense overdramatizations reading a fucking list of nominees. Jeez. She never fails.

Is Angela that lady who was born on the same day as Madonna?

How embarrassing for her.

That be dopey.

That Ariana rap/medley/whatever the hell that was needs to be seen to be believed. Surprised there isn't a thread on it.

Agree with r12 she is too much. I have grown so tired of actors like Bassett, Jamie Lee and Viola because they take themselves way too seriously. And too many people blowing smoke up their asses and feeding their narcissism.

The Ariana rap/medley/whatever was horrible from start to finish. Concept, costuming, staging, writing, singing. Like amateur theatrics.

Armie Hammer got caught up when his family stopped paying.

I’m assuming this was a huckadebejeepers moment and she forgot a lyric

R17, it's mesmerizing just how much awfulness she fits into a clip that's under thirty seconds. The weird dance moves, the strange attempt at an accent during the Angela Bassett line, the amateurish rhymes.

And the BAFTA producers confirmed that it was Ariana's idea.

Don’t forget the lack of breath control, R17 and R20.

Everyone hates Ariana Debose.

Fuck outta here.

Does anyone remember Angela’s ridiculous Oprah speech years ago with a million other black women? “Mama, I wanna be an actor!” Robotic attendees: “Angela, we hear your name.”

‘DeBose is in a relationship with costume designer and professor Sue Makkoo. The pair met while working on Summer: The Donna Summer Musical in 2017. Previously, DeBose was in a romantic relationship with theater props master Jill Johnson. The pair met while both were working on the musical Motown: The Musical.’

Sounds like a predatory bull dyke to me, one who uses her position to get pussy. You know… just like the men she rails against as evil. Typical woke Hollywood hypocrite.

She is fucking tiresome. She seems to think that being a “Queer Afro-Latinx” is a skill. She talentless. I will refuse to watch any of films or tv shows. Boycotting her.

R26 I don't consider her talentless. She was excellent in the West Side Story. But she is way tooo thirsty. Her ambition is the blatant, in your face, steamroller type. There's a coarseness to it. So much so that it gets in the way of her talent. On a personal level, from what I have seen, I could never be friends with someone so driven. I don't think I would trust them. But I don't think she is talentless. She just has to develop some polish. Dial it back. Because there are a lot of ambitious driven, callous people in Hollywood, they just do a much better job of hiding it.

One of the most cringe things I’ve seen in a long time - and the attempts to claim it’s “not woke” to not like it is why people are rejecting the whole concept. Let’s just recognize manipulative attempts to gain attention that fail for what they are.

R27 she can’t dial it back, she’s too wrapped up in the woke movement. Her entitlement is off the charts. She’s got the same syndrome that so many in the entertainment industry have now, they think simply showing up as a BIPOC means they deserve the gig. If they don’t get it, it’s because of white supremacy or some other boogieman they dream up. It’s getting old and behind the scenes lots of producers are sick of the bullshit, a backlash is coming.

R23 I love the reactions. Ana De Armas has a look on her face like she's thinking "shut the fuck up, bitch." And Danielle Deadwyler looked like she was thinking "please leave my name out of this."

Adulting is hard!

R30, you are projecting your sour and nasty disposition disorder on others, innocent persons. They seemed surprised, but pleasantly so.

She was just as cringe hosting the Tonys, but they love try-hards on Broadway, so no one noticed.

She's this generation's Debbie Allen.

Ariana’s routine has gone from being lampooned to being iconic. Ariana did the thing!

The Five Stages of Reaction to this Meme

I will scream if someone doesn’t do her in the next Snatch Game, giving answers in an out of breath voice and making bad rhymes

I don’t know all these hers….

R24 - No

Does Sam Greisman have an actual JOB?

R39 Would you if your mom was Sally Field?

R24 Mama I wanna be an ACTUH!

I'm not R39, but Sally Field's other kids work. One just cowrote the latest Batman film and was involved in developing the "Top Gun: Maverick" story.

R40 Jane Fonda’s son works and she has a LOT more money.

So that was the actual lyric

Who the fuck is Evan Ross Katz? Is he why they hate us?
