Angela Bassett and Mel Brooks received honourary Oscars at the 2024 Governors Awards. Bassett, known for her iconic roles from Tina Turner to Wakanda's queen, acknowledged the 10 Black women who've won Academy Awards and called for more opportunities for people of colour in the film industry. On the other hand, after receiving the award, Brooks humorously vowed never to sell his second Oscar, jokingly admitting to having sold his first.
