Angela Bassett Wins FIRST Emmy After Nine Nominations

Angela Bassett may be one of the most revered actresses of all time, but even she is still receiving career firsts.

For, the star won her first-ever Emmy Award at the 2024 Creative Arts Emmys.

Full story below…

Bassett bagged the Best Narrator award for her performance for her work on National Geographic‘s ‘Queens.’

The powerful series shone a light on the natural world through the female lens for the very first time.

Posing with her award, Bassett

“My very first #Emmy. It feels really good to hold this in my hands. Thank you to the @televisionacad for recognizing me and the extraordinary story that the #Queens docu-series tells.

So much of my life is spent on camera telling stories, that when I have the opportunity to step back and allow these majestic, powerful creatures to be the center of our attention, I am honored to be their voice.

Thank you to @natgeotv, @Wildstarfilms, and the incredible directors, ALL WOMEN, who lent their brilliant talent to bring QUEENS to the screen. I share this award with you.”

Congratulations!
