Chadwick Boseman posthumously wins Golden Globe for best actor
Chadwick Boseman on Sunday posthumously won the Golden Globe for best actor in a drama for his role in ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.’
The Black Panther star died of cancer aged 43.
His wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, who received the award, said the late actor would thank God, his parents, his ancestors for their guidance, as well as his castmates.
“He would say something beautiful; something inspiring; something that would amplify that little voice inside all of us that tells you: you can; that tells you to keep going; that calls you back to what you are meant to be doing at this moment in history,” she said.
Mr. Boseman was nominated alongside Gary Oldman (Mank), Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal), Anthony Hopkins (The Father), and Tahar Rahim (The Mauritanian).
The actor received acclaim and praise for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and was given a tribute in January at the 30th Gotham Awards.
Marvel celebrated the third anniversary of its blockbuster Black Panther a few weeks ago.
The movie grossed $1.3 billion worldwide, standing as the highest-grossing solo movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (sequels included), making more than Avengers: Infinity War in their respective domestic releases.
