Angela Bassett

After being snubbed for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" at the 2023 Oscars, Angela Bassett is slated to become one of four Hollywood figures to receive an honorary Oscar at this year’s Governors Awards, hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in November. The 64-year-old star has gotten her flowers all year, snagging Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture at the 54th NAACP Image Awards and Best Actress at the 2023 BET Awards for her Queen Ramonda role. Bassett also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the iconic "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" this year. Not content to rest on her laurels, Bassett is working on her latest film with her actor husband Courtney B. Vance and Showtime, and she continues to portray police officer Athena Grant on the fire and police drama "9-1-1."
