Cousins! Congratulations are in order for the Queen that is Angela Bassett as she won a Golden Globe tonight for her legendary performance as Queen Ramonda in ‘ Black Panther : Wakanda Forever ‘
According to Variety, this win serves as Angela’s second Golden Globe award as she previously accepted an award for her performance in Tina Turner’s biopic for ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’
“I got to find my words. I’m so nervous. My heart is just beating,” Angela opened up as she gleamed on stage.
“The 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.”
She moved on to thank her husband Courtney B. Vance their children, her Marvel and Black Panther family while also acknowledging Ryan Coogler and the late Chadwick Boseman.
“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,” Angela said.
“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.”
Angela has successfully made history as the first actor to win an academy award for a marvel movie.
