Angela Bassett is no stranger to winning a Golden Globes as she won Best Supporting Actress in a motion picture, What’s Love Got to Do With It. She makes history becoming the first performer to win a Golden Globe in a Marvel film in an acting category. It’s great seeing one of our own winning major awards to shine a light that anything is possible.
“We showed the world what black unity, leadership, and love looks like beyond, behind, and in front of the camera”
Everyone was interested to see the storyline of the film after losing Chadwick Boseman to colon cancer in 2020. Bose man inspired people from all around the world with his portrayal of Black Panther and his impact is still being felt today. Angela gave some kind words to the late Chadwick Boseman in her acceptance speech.
“We embarked on this journey together, with love...we mourned, we loved, we healed, and we were surrounded each and every day by the light and the spirit of Chadwick Boseman”
It is a big achievement for Marvel fans and other action hero movies who usually don’t receive high praise for major awards. Could a possible trend or shift happen for more upcoming action based films? I think it should as more action movies are adding more drama elements to the protagonist arch in stories rather than just for the villain. Angela gave some thanks to the Marvel fanatics during her acceptance speech as well.
“To the Marvel fans, thank you for embracing these characters and showing us so much love. We just made history with this nomination and with this award, and it belongs to all of us. Thank you”
