Because Angela Bassett is one of the most revered actresses in movie and television history, her mantel has certainly made room for some of the entertainment industry’s most prized awards over the last three-and-a-half decades.
However, despite critical acclaim for portraying the likes of “Bernadine Harris,” Katherine Jackson, Rosa Parks, and many others over the years, major industry honors (i.e. EMMY, Academy Award, etc.) have often eluded her – much to the chagrin of her dedicated legion of fans.
The first step in righting that wrong may have come Tuesday night (January 10), however, when the 64-year-old captured the second Golden Globe of her career.

As critical acclaim continues to roll in for her portrayal of “Ramonda” in the 2022 film ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,’ Bassett defeated Kerry Condon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Carey Mulligan, and Dolly de Leon for the Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture honor at the 2023 Golden Globes.
Coming as the second Golden Globe capture of her career, the triumph comes 29 years after Angela captured her inaugural Globe trophy for bringing to life the story of Rock Queen Tina Turner in the biographical musical film, ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’
The win is of particular note as Bassett becomes the first actress in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to win for a Marvel role.
Uniquely, the win also sees her help break ageism barriers in Hollywood. At 64-years-young, Angela makes history as the oldest Black actress to collect the trophy. Over the ceremony’s 80-year history, the only other Black actresses to nab the Best Supporting Actress statuette overall are Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson, Mo’Nique, Octavia Spencer, Viola Davis, Regina King, and Ariana DeBose.
