Bassett is nominated for her role in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," her first Oscar nomination since 1993's "What's Love Got To Do With It."

"In retrospect, in hindsight, a lot of things made sense," Coogler said about the days before Boseman died.
The sequel, "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," serves as a moving tribute to the beloved actor and his character.

The company said on Thursday that instead of focusing on T'Challa's storyline, "Black Panther 2" will "explore the world of Wakanda."
A recently publicized text message from late actor Chadwick Boseman gives even more insight into how much of a real superhero he was to his youngest fans.
"For him to see [a superhero] that looked like him or looked like his father, as far as a Black man that's saving the world, that meant a lot to him," his dad told CBS News.
"There was an authenticity and a grace and respect to not just each role that he was inhabiting but also I think to what it meant to the Black community each he stepped in front of the camera," Johnson said.
In addition to tributes for the "Black Panther" actor, racial justice was a major theme of the VMAs shaped by the coronavirus pandemic.
