And the Oscar goes to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ruth Carter.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Ruth Carter’s first job in film was designing costumes for Spike Lee’s 1988 film School Days. Ruth Carter utilized 3D printing technology to create a crown and neckpiece for Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Beautiful work.
Ruth Carter (00:34):
Wow. Nice. Nice to see you again. Thank you to the academy for recognizing the superhero that is a Black woman. She endures, she loves, she overcomes, she is every woman in this film. She is my mother. This past week, Mabel Carter became an ancestor. This film prepared me for this moment.
(01:09)
Chadwick, please take care of mom. Ryan Coogler, Nate Moore, thank you both for your vision. Together we are reshaping how culture is represented. The Marvel family, Kevin Feige, Victoria Alonso, Louis D’Esposito, and their arsenal of genius, thank you. I share this with many dedicated artists whose hands and hearts helped manifest the costumes of Wakanda and Talokan. This is for my mother. She was 101.
