In her acceptance speech, Bassett praised the "trailblazing" Black actresses that came before her as well as those working alongside her today — including Viola Davis, Regina King, Jennifer Hudson and Octavia Spencer — as she addressed the work that still needs to be done in upholding diversity within the film industry.
"I proudly share this honor with women who stand up when they are told to stand back, who speak up when they are silenced, who remain determined when they're told they're defeated," she said. "These women represent those that I've had the honor to portray, as well as the everyday women who surround us and inspire us to keep striving."
