\n

\tAngela Bassett won the Golden Globe award Tuesday for her performance as Queen Ramonda in \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever,\u201d making the 64-year-old the first actor ever to win a major individual acting award for a movie based on Marvel Comics. <\/p>\n

\n

\tthe evening marked Bassett’s second win (and second nomination) at the Globes; she took home the trophy for best actress in a musical or comedy for 1993’s Tina Turner biopic \u201cWhat’s Love Got to Do With It.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI got to find my words. I’m so nervous. My heart is just beating,\u201d Bassett began, taking the stage to accept the award. \u201cThe late Tony Morrison said that your life is already a miracle of chance just waiting for you to order its destiny. But in order for that destiny to manifest, I think that it requires courage to have faith. It requires patience, as we just heard. And it requires a true sense of yourself. It’s not easy because the past is circuitous and it has many unexpected detours, but, by the grace of God, I stand here. I stand here grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tBassett took the space to thank her husband, fellow actor Courtney B. Vance, her family and her Marvel collaborators, \u201cWakanda Forever\u201d director Ryan Coogler, Victoria Alonso, Nate Moore, Kevin Feige and Louis D’Esposito. Bassett also acknowledged the death of \u201cBlack Panther\u201d star Chadwick Boseman, who died of colon cancer in 2020. Boseman’s death casts a shadow over the plot of \u201cWakanda Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cWe embarked on this journey together with love. We mourned, we loved, we healed. We were surrounded each and every day by the light and the spirit of Chadwick Boseman,\u201d Bassett said. \u201cWe have joy in knowing that with this historic ‘Black Panther’ series, it is a part of his legacy that he helped to lead us. We showed the world what Black unity, leadership and love looks like, behind and in front of the camera. To the Marvel fans, thank you for embracing these characters and showing us so much love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tBackstage, Bassett was characteristically composed as she was asked if she had any hesitation about attending the show given the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.’s recent controversary over the lack of Black members in the press organization. <\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThe HFPA has made strides,\u201d Bassett said. \u201cThey know what needs to be done.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\tPrior to Bassett’s win for \u201cWakanda Forever,\u201d only four actors, and no women, had even been candidate<\/em> for a Golden Globe for acting in a superhero movie: Nominees Ryan Reynolds for 2016’s \u201cDeadpool\u201d (actor in musical\/comedy) and Jack Nicholson for 1989’s \u201cBatman\u201d (actor in musical\/comedy), as well as winners Joaquin Phoenix for 2019’s \u201cJoker\u201d (actor in drama) and Heath Ledger for 2008’s \u201cThe Dark Knight\u201d (supporting actor). Phoenix and Ledger, who both played variations on the DC Comics villain the Joker, were the major winners in their respective years across awards season, taking home the SAG Awards and the Oscars as well (Ledger’s wins were posthumous).<\/p>\n

\n

\tThis isn’t the first time Bassett has earned a top award for playing Queen Ramonda, however: She was also part of the group of actors from 2018’s \u201cBlack Panther\u201d who won best ensemble at the SAG Awards. <\/p>\n

\n

\tOf variety<\/em>‘s November 2022 cover story on the making of \u201cWakanda Forever,\u201d Bassett said that director Ryan Coogler pitched to her how \u201cimportant and vital\u201d Queen Ramonda was to the sequel’s story.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cAlmost to the point that I was going to get a complex, like, ‘Am I going to be able to deliver what you’re asking for?’\u201d Bassett said with a laugh. \u201cShe had to be strong. She she had to be a mother. She she had to be a leader. He was just throwing all of this at me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tBassett won the Globe over fellow nominees Kerry Condon (\u201cThe Banshees Inisherin\u201d), Jamie Lee Curtis (\u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d), Dolly de Leon (\u201cTriangle of Sadness\u201d) and Carey Mulligan (\u201cShe Said\u201d).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
