Boseman earned his only Oscar nomination & narrowly missed a posthumous win, losing to the legendary Anthony Hopkins. I still can’t believe he is gone.", expresed another."Can we talk about how wild these institutions are when they continue to center symbolic gestures over material respect, as if posthumous acknowledgment can substitute for honoring someone while they were alive. This kind of delayed celebration functions as a feel-good performance for the industry, not a genuine engagement with Chadwick’s legacy or the inequities he navigated. It also flattens his brilliance into a commodity, turning his memory into a spectacle rather than a sustained commitment to supporting Black artists in real time.", commented a third.Others also chimed in:"Deserved. Forever my Black Panther, but he was also just one of the greatest actors of his generation. From Jackie Robinson to Thurgood Marshall, he was just incredible. F**k cancer.", penned a netizen."Dude's final performance in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom earned him: - Golden Globe Award (Best Actor) - Critics’ Choice Award - SAG Award - Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. An absolute legend, take a bow...👊", noted another."Humble soul left this world too soon. Yet even in Chadwick Boseman's passing, his spirit continues to rise, a symbol of the impact he made and hearts he touched. May your legacy continues to shine, guiding us with grace and humility and a reminder that greatness sometimes wrapped in gentleness", commented a third.Congratulations, Chadwick Boseman.
