After a storied career spanning four decades in which she has played Tina Turner, Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks and Black Panther’s Queen Ramonda, Angela Bassett received her first Academy Award on Tuesday – an honorary Oscar. Mel Brooks, 97, and Carol Littleton, the film editor behind ET and Body Heat, were also recognised with honorary Oscars at the ceremony, which was originally scheduled for November but delayed due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes.
