Carol Littleton and Mel Brooks are also 2023 Governors Award honorees, while Sundance Institute exec Michelle Statter is set to receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.<\/p>\n<p>Bassett\u2019s honor is notable because it comes soon after her most recent loss. Last season, Bassett started as the front-runner for her performance in the Marvel film, with much of the conversation focusing on her body of work over decades as a movie star. Ultimately, Jamie Lee Curtis won for \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once.\u201d Past honorary Oscar winners include Samuel L.
