Bassett had previously received a Best Actress nod for her portrayal of Tina Turner in 1993’s “What’s Love Got to Do With It,”.
And once again she receives an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actress for a rather commanding performance as Wakanda’s Queen Ramonda In “Wakanda Forever,”.
Bassett, who’s already won the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award, brings gravitas to a grieving mother who must find a way to lead her country in the wake of her son’s (T’Challa’s) Death and amid pressure from powerful outside forces.
The film picked up five nominations total. But what's interesting to note is that this is the first time a Marvel Actress has been considered for Oscar nomination.
