Late Black Panther star, Chadwick Boseman was honoured with a posthumous award at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards in the US on Sunday night.

Boseman bagged the award for his performance in music drama Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

The famed actor who died last August after suffering from colon cancer beat fellow nominees Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal), Steven Yeun (Minari), Anthony Hopkins (The Father) and Gary Oldman (Mank) to the award.

Boseman’s wife, Simone Ledward Boseman, accepted the Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role for his performance in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom on his behalf.

“If you see the world unbalanced, be a crusader that pushes heavily on the seesaw of the mind. That’s a quote by Chadwick Boseman,” Simone said while virtually accepting the honor.

She also thanked her late husband’s parents Leroy and Carolyn, Ma Rainey star Viola Davis, playwright August Wilson and actor Denzel Washington.
