Angela Bassett, who starred in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, will be one of three Hollywood legends to receive an honorary Oscar, giving her her first Oscar. Bassett will receive an honorary Oscar at the Governor’s Awards in 2023, which are scheduled to take place on November 18 in Los Angeles, according to an announcement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Along with Mel Brooks, one of the few performers in history to have won an Oscar, Grammy Award, Emmy Award, and Tony Award, and Carol Littleton, a film editor best known for her work on E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Bassett will be one of three actors to receive the special Academy Award at the next ceremony. Academy President Janet Yang remarked of Bassett’s selection as one of the honorary Oscar winners, “Throughout her decades-long career, Angela Bassett has continued to deliver transcendent performances that set new standards in acting.”
Two times before, Bassett was nominated for an Academy Award. The first nomination was for her portrayal of late rock and roll queen Tina Turner in the 1993 biographical film What’s Love Got to Do with It, for which Holly Hunter was ultimately nominated for Best Actress. Bassett was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 95th Academy Awards in March for her portrayal of Queen Ramonda in Wakanda Forever. To the chagrin of many admirers, she ultimately lost to Jamie Lee Curtis from Everything Everywhere All at Once. Bassett made history with the nomination, being the first member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to receive a significant Oscar nomination, even if she didn’t win Best Supporting Actress. Additionally, she received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance as Ramonda, the MCU’s first-ever first.
A lot of people praised Bassett’s portrayal in Wakanda Forever as her character fought to support her family after her son T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) unexpectedly passed away from an unknown disease at the beginning of the movie. Ramonda encountered several issues when removing Okoye (Danai Gurira) from the Dora Milaje. Additionally, she didn’t like how Namor (Tenoch Huerta) treated her daughter Shuri (Letitia Wright). subsequently on in Wakanda Forever, Ramonda is killed by Namor during a fight, but Ramonda subsequently makes an appearance from the Ancestral Realm to convince Shuri, the new Black Panther who took over from T’Challa, to refrain from exacting retribution.
