CHADWICK Boseman is nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars just seven months after his tragic death following his battle with cancer.
Fans were pleasantly surprised and excited to see that Chadwick, who sadly passed away from colon cancer a few months ago, was being honored with the highest accolade of the industry. He is nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his character in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, where he appeared alongside Viola Davis.
This year's winners will be announced at a delayed Oscars ceremony on Sunday, April 25. Chadwick's nomination for Best Actor comes after his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, accepted a Critic's Choice Award on his behalf. He had also won Best Actor for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
