Chadwick Boseman Posthumously Earns Oscar Nomination for 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'

On Monday morning, Chadwick Boseman was posthumously nominated for an Academy Award for best actor in a leading role for his performance in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.” Last month, the late actor earned a Golden Globe for best actor in a drama motion picture for the role.

In the Netflix film based on the life of legend Ma Rainey, a blues singer popular in the 1920s, Boseman plays the talented and traumatized trumpet phenomenon Levee Green. Last year, the beloved “Black Panther” star died during the film’s postproduction.

It is Boseman’s first and only Academy Award nomination. Riz Ahmed for “Sound of Metal,” Anthony Hopkins for “The Father,” Gary Oldman for “Mank,” and Steven Yeun for “Minari” are among the other nominees in the same category.
