I have put in: put in the time, put in good work over time, Bassett said.
I didnt think that was a gift.
I thought it was a given.

Its not the first time Bassett has spoken out about the Oscar snub.
In an interview with Oprah last year, Bassett said she was gobsmacked over the loss.
I thought I handled it very well, she said.
It was, of course, a supreme disappointment, and disappointment is human.
Hopefully shell be acknowledged in every way, whether thats Cannes or Berlin or anywhere around the world.
