BEVERLY HILLS, California—”Black Panther” actress Angela Bassett won a supporting actress award on Tuesday at the first Golden Globe awards since a scandal knocked the glitzy Hollywood ceremony off television.
Bassett was honored for playing Queen Ramonda in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” a sequel that was rewritten after the death of star Chadwick Boseman.
“We showed the world what Black unity, leadership and love looks like beyond, behind and in front of the camera,” Bassett said as she held her trophy.
Ke Huy Quan was named best supporting actor in a drama film for his role of Waymond Wang in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
Celebrities and broadcaster NBC abandoned the 2022 Globes because of ethical lapses at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the group that hands out the awards.
A larger, more diverse membership and other changes by the HFPA persuaded many of the biggest movie and TV stars to support this year’s ceremony, which provides publicity for winners and nominees and often boosts their chances at the Oscars.
