Angela Bassett may have walked away empty-handed from the Oscars in March, but the two-time nominee will be picking up a golden statuette this year, and she won’t be alone.

In November, actress Angela Bassett, the comedian, actor, screenwriter, director and producer Mel Brooks and editor Carol Littleton will receive honorary Oscars at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Board of Directors Awards ceremony. Michelle Sater, director of the Sundance Institute’s Arts Programs, will also receive the Gene Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the event.

The Academy’s Board of Trustees is thrilled to honor four pioneers who have transformed the motion picture industry and inspired generations of filmmakers and movie fans, said Janet Young, president of the Academy.

Most honorary Academy Award recipients have not won a competitive Oscar. Brooks, however, is an exception, having won an Oscar for Original Screenplay for “The Producers.” At the ceremony in 1969, he said he wanted to “thank the Academy for this wonderful award.”

The 96-year-old comedian, who began his career writing for Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows,” spent the next 70 years writing, directing, acting and producing for film, television and Broadway.

Angela Bassett has starred in ‘Boyz N the Hood’, ‘Malcolm X’ and received her first Oscar nomination for her performance as Tina Turner in ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ and her second this year for the role of the queen in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
