After the Golden Globes canceled its 2022 edition due to a scandal lifted after it was discovered there were few members of color on its voting committee, the 2023 ceremony – which aired Tuesday night (January 10) – apparently looked to distance itself from its controversial past by increasing the diversity among winners.

The remedy came in many forms including longtime revered African American actress Angela Bassett capturing the night’s Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture trophy and celebrated Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh snagging the Best Supporting Actress in a Movie Musical or Comedy statuette.

In that stead, two of the evening’s most talked about winners were ‘Abbott Elementary’ stars Quinta Brunson and Tyler James Williams – who both made history for their groundbreaking performances in the hit ABC comedy.

Because Angela Bassett is one of the most revered actresses in movie and television history, her mantel has certainly made room for some of the entertainment industry’s most prized awards over the last three-and-a-half decades.

However, despite critical acclaim for portraying the likes of “Bernadine Harris,” Katherine Jackson, Rosa Parks, and many others over the years, major industry honors (i.e. EMMY, Academy Award, etc.) have often eluded her – much to the chagrin of her dedicated legion of fans.

The first step in righting that wrong may have come Tuesday night (January 10), however, when the 64-year-old captured the second Golden Globe of her career.
