Actor Angela Bassett, ace monologer and premium crier, will finally get the Oscar she has been denied for decades at this year’s Governors Awards. For her longstanding contribution to cinema, Bassett will receive an honorary Oscar — along with writer/director Mel Brooks and editor Carol Littleton.
Bassett was first nominated for Best Actress in 1993, for her lived-in portrayal of Tina Turner in What’s Love Got To Do With It? She lost out to Emma Thompson’s performance in Howard’s End, a stuffy English drama our that parents made us sit through instead of renting My Cousin Vinny like we repeatedly asked.
