Angela Bassett did the thing
Actress Ariana DeBose graced the British Academy of Film and Television Awards (BAFTA) with a painful choreographed rap-dance. The display climaxes with a level of embarrassment as an increasingly out-of-breath DeBose listed off the accomplishments of female actors, jerking her body in time with the words “Angela Bassett did the thing.” That phrase and an accompanying screenshot had an intense period of memeing on certain corners of the internet, though it didn’t quite break out into the mainstream popular discourse.
