Angela Bassett and Mel Brooks are set to receive honorary Oscars at the 2023 Governors Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced.
Black Panther star Angela Bassett will receive an honorary Oscar, 30 years after she was first nominated.
The actress was nominated for best actress for playing Tina Turner in 1993's What's Love Got to Do with It.
Then this year, she was up for best supporting actress for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - but looked unimpressed when she lost.
Bassett played Queen Ramonda in the Black Panther films, and is also known for her appearances in films like Boyz N the Hood, Malcolm X, Music of the Heart and Mission: Impossible - Fallout.
Mel Brooks has directed, produced and acted in beloved Hollywood comedies including "Blazing Saddles," "History of the World, Part 1," "Young Frankenstein" and "The Producers."
The Hollywood legend won an Oscar in 1969 for Best Original Screenplay for "The Producers" and received two Oscar nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay ("Young Frankenstein") and Best Original Song ("Blazing Saddles").
The Academy will also be awarding Sundance founding director Michelle Satter with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the Governors Awards ceremony, which will take place in November.
