Black Panther's King of Wakanda just got another crown. The late Chadwick Boseman has won a posthumous Golden Globe award for his performance in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
The late Black Panther star was posthumously awarded the honor of Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama at the 78th Golden Globe Awards. Boseman played Levee Green in the George C. Wolfe film. He was nominated alongside Riz Ahmed for Sound of Metal, Anthony Hopkins for The Father, Gary Oldman for Mank, and Tahar Rahim for The Mauritanian.
Boseman's wife Simone Ledward Boseman accepted the award on his behalf and stated that, if he was still alive, her late husband would thank God, his parents, and "his ancestors for their guidance and their sacrifices."
"He would say something beautiful. Something inspiring, something that would amplify that little voice inside of us that tells us you can, that tells you to keep going, that calls you back to what you were meant to be doing in this moment... I don't have his words but we have to take all the moments to celebrate those we love," Simone continued.
Boseman wasn't the only one who won big at the Golden Globes. His Black Panther co-star Daniel Kaluuya also won the Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture award for his performance in Judas and the Black Messiah. Kaluuya actually experienced a glitch during his acceptance speech but it was immediately fixed.
Boseman passed away on Aug. 28, 2020, after a four-year-long battle with colon cancer. He was 43 years old.
