To say “Angela Bassett did the thing” at the 2023 NAACP Image Awards would be an understatement.
Before this year’s ceremony, the Academy & EMMY Award-nominated actress already sat pretty in the award show’s record books with a whopping 13 career wins for previously claimed victories for ‘Malcolm X,’ ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It,’ ‘How Stella Got Her Groove Back,’ and many more.
At the show’s 54th annual iteration (which was hosted by Queen Latifah and aired February 25), Bassett nabbed another 4 nods across TV and film categories for her work on FOX’s ‘9-1-1’ and ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ respectively.
Look inside to see how many of the coveted trophies she took home.
As reported here, Bassett collected three additional statuettes at the 2023 NAACP Image Awards – Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series (for ‘9-1-1’), Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture (‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’), and even defeated Mary J. Blige, Zendaya, Quinta Brunson, and Viola Davis for Entertainer of the Year.
The trio of trophies now make her a 16-time winner for the award show – the most any actress has ever claimed. She leads a list that includes Taraji P. Henson (11), Tracee Ellis Ross (9), Alfre Woodard (9), and more.
