Chadwick Boseman became a Golden Globe nominee five months after his death for his work on Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
The South Carolina native played Levee in the November 2020 film, which also starred Viola Davis.
The Black Panther star kept his cancer diagnosis low-key throughout filming, with his publicist confirming to Us Weekly that he had progressed from stage three colon cancer in 2016 to stage IV.
“It is with immense sadness that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman,” read a September 2020 statement. Many others, all filmed during and including countless surgeries and chemotherapy treatments. It was the honor of his career to play King T’Challa in Black Panther. He died in his house, with his wife, [Taylor Simone Ledward]and the family with him.”
The 21 Bridges star has been nominated for several posthumous awards this year, from a Gotham Award to a Film Independent Spirit Award.
Literally accepting her late husband’s award last month, Ledward, 30, called Boseman “the most honest person” she’s ever met.
“As an artist, a performer and an individual, Chad has made a habit of speaking the truth,” the musician said in January. “He did not just tell the truth. He actively searched for it in himself, in those around him, and in the moment. You yourself can prevent the truth very easily, but if one does not abide in the truth, then it is impossible to live according to it. with the divine purpose of one’s life. And so he lived his whole life, day after day, blameless but determined.”
Ledward yelled and concluded, “Chad, thank you. I adore you. I’m so proud of you. Keep shining your light.”
Boseman shares his Golden Globes category with fellow nominees Riza Ahmed of Audio of Metal, Anthony Hopkins of The Father, Gary Oldman of Manko and Tahar Rahim of The Mauritanian.
