Guess what? Angela Bassett just scooped up her first-ever Oscar at the 14th Annual Governors Awards, and it’s a whole vibe! The 65-year-old legend got the honorary Academy Award, and Regina King, the hype-woman extraordinaire, was the one to hand it over.

Angela didn’t just take home the Oscar; she dropped some wisdom in her acceptance speech. She had a powerful message for her fellow Black actresses, telling them to channel the courage and strength their ancestors envisioned. Preach, Angela!

She made sure to shout out the strong women she’s portrayed in her roles, from Tina Turner to Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, and the regal Queen Ramonda in ‘Black Panther.’ Fun fact – Angela made history as the first actor in a Marvel film and the first woman from a superhero movie to snag an Oscar nom.
