Angela Bassett is finally getting her long-overdue Oscar.
The legendary actress who was snubbed for both her ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ and ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It?’ nominations respectively, will be receiving an honorary Academy Award.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced Monday that Bassett, Mel Brooks, and Carol Littleton will be receiving the honorary award. Sundance Institute’s founding director, Michelle Satter, is also set to receive this year’s Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
“The Academy’s Board of Governors is thrilled to honor four trailblazers who have transformed the film industry and inspired generations of filmmakers and movie fans,” said Academy President Janet Yang in a statement. “Across her decades-long career, Angela Bassett has continued to deliver transcendent performances that set new standards in acting. Mel Brooks lights up our hearts with his humor, and his legacy has made a lasting impact on every facet of entertainment. Carol Littleton’s career in film editing serves as a model for those who come after her. A pillar of the independent film community, Michelle Satter has played a vital role in the careers of countless filmmakers around the world.”
