Did Angela Bassett Reference Her Oscar Loss in 9-1-1's Season Premiere?
Angela Bassett seemingly made a hilariously meta quip about her 2023 best supporting actress Oscars loss during the ‘9-1-1’ season 7 premiere
During the Thursday, March 14, premiere of the ABC series, Bassett, 65, opens the episode attending therapy ahead of her character, Athena Grant, and husband Bobby Nash’s ( Peter Krause) cruise ship honeymoon. The film was titled The Poseidon Adventure, a 1972 flick that followed a group of passengers who must embark on a harrowing struggle for survival after a rogue wave capsizes their cruise ship at sea. When the therapist rolls his eyes at the source of her fear, Athena notes that the movie was a major motion picture starring Gene Hackman and Shelley Winters, who was even nominated for best supporting actress at the 1972 Oscars.
