Chadwick Boseman’s Wife Simone Accepts Gotham Awards Tribute In His Memory

During a speech she delivered at the 2021 Gotham Awards, Chadwick Boseman's wife paid tribute to the beloved late actor. "But if one does not live in truth, then it's impossible to live life". Keep doing shine your light about us.

Chadwick is set to get an Oscar nomination for his work in the Netflix film Ma Rainey Black Bottom. "He actively sought it out, in himself, in his entourage and in the moment".

In the TV categories, Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You was named breakthrough series (short format) while the long format category was won by Watchmen.

Boseman and singer Taylor Simone Ledward started dating in 2015. "So thank you. Praise God". In acknowledgment not only of his profound work but of his impact on this industry and this world", she said, "Chad, thank you, I love you. "There was also this clarity in his eyes that he was ready to meet that moment and many more". Simone continued that Chadwick lives his life beautifully, and he was determined to be the best, as a man, as a person, as an actor. He realized that when one is able to recognize that when their strength does not come from themselves, they seldom go wrong. "[He] was not merely telling a story or reading lines on a page, but modelling a path to true fulfilment".

The best feature award was presented to Nomadland, confirming the Frances McDormand drama as one of this year's leading awards contenders.

Boseman passed away on August 20, 2020, from complications related to colon cancer.

Nomadland, starring Frances McDormand, was the big victor at the 30th annual Gotham Awards. His co-star, Viola Davis, was also given a career tribute at Monday's Gotham Awards, where Chloé Zhao's staggering road movie "Nomadland" took the best feature and audience awards.

The Gotham Awards, hosted by the Independent Filmmaker Project, took place at Cipriani Wall Street in NY, and guests and nominees attended both in person and virtually.

Nicole Beharie earned Best Actress for her role in "Miss Juneteenth" while Riz Ahmed was honored with Best Actor for his role in "Sound of Metal".
