Angela Bassett paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman as she accepted her Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture on Tuesday (10.01.23).
The 64-year-old actress became the first woman to win an acting award for a superhero movie at the ceremony when she beat off competition from Kerry Condon) ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’) Jamie Lee Curtis (‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’) Dolly De Leon (‘Triangle of Sadness’) and Carey Mulligan (‘She Said’) for her performance as Queen Ramonda in ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’, and she took the time to remember her late co-star – who died of cancer in 2020 after thanking her husband Courtney B. Vance, her family, and others who had worked on the film.
She told the audience at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California: “We 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.
“We 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.”
