Angela is up against Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin), Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Dolly De Leon (Triangle of Sadness), and Carey Mulligan (She Said).

This is the first time an actor has ever received an acting nomination for a film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

And the second overall Golden Globe nomination for Angela. She earned her first nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, and won, nearly three decades ago for her incredible portrayal of Tina Turner in What's Love Got to Do with It.

But this isn't the only nomination Black Panther: Wakanda Forever received this year. The film is also up for Best Original Song thanks to the hit single "Lift Me Up" by Rihanna, Tems, Ryan Coogler, and Ludwig Göransson.
