Late Chadwick Boseman has won the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture at the Golden Globes. Boseman died of colon cancer last year August at age 43. His death sent shockwaves throughout the world as the Black Panther star had kept his years-long battle against the disease confidential.
Simone Ledward Boseman accepted the Golden Globe won by her late husband, She further listed the people Boseman would’ve thanked if alive, like director George C. Wolfe, producer Denzel Washington, and costar Viola Davis.
She said “He would say something beautiful, something inspiring, something that would amplify that little voice inside of 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.”
The ‘wakkanda’ star joins a handful of actors to win posthumous Golden Globes awards including Heath Ledger, who won Best Supporting Actor in 2009 for The Dark Knight; Raul Julia, who won Best Actor in a TV Movie in 1995 for The Burning Season; and Peter Finch, who won Best Actor in a Drama in 1977 for Network.
