Angela Bassett has clinched her second Golden Globes award as The Best Supporting Actress in Motion Picture for her role as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, 29 years after her first win as Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do with It? Bassett’s historic win for Marvel Cinematic Universe comes as the film becomes the highest grossing women-led superheroes movie.

In her acceptance speech, the 64-year-old icon paid a heartfelt tribute to her co-star, Chadwick Boseman, and the impact of Black Panther on representation in Hollywood, saying, “We embarked on this journey together with love. We mourned, we loved, we healed. We are surrounded each and every day by the light and spirit of Chadwick Boseman. 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, beyond, behind and in front of the camera.”
