Boseman is up for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. He had portrayed the character of Levee, a talented trumpet player and songwriter during the 1920’s period of blues music in Chicago. This is Boseman’s first posthumous nomination, which has left fans emotional since his tragic death in the summer 2020.
