No Oscar For Chadwick Boseman; Joaquin Phoenix Steals The Show

The 93rd annual Academy Awards took place tonight where Twitter is ablaze that Chadwick Boseman didn’t win an award, and Joaquin Phoenix happened to steal the show at the end.

You can check out the winners’ list below.

Regarding Chadwick Boseman, known for playing Marvel’s Black Panther, the actor died last year of cancer and was up for Best Actor for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, but the award went to Anthony Hopkins for The Father.

Some fans have commented on Twitter they thought Chadwick Boseman should have won the award or at the least, that the Academy should have given Boseman a post-humous Academy Award to celebrate his career.

Regarding Joaquin Phoenix, the actor was featured last in the show where he announced the Best Actor award, and it was pretty funny, as apparently he was supposed to talk about acting and when as an actor he realized when he embodied the character, but Phoenix said he said he didn’t know anything about that, announced the winner and the show ended.

Have a watch:

And Marvel zombie fans have also pointed out that Eternals director Chloé Zhao has won the Best Director award for Nomadland (pictured below), which means an Oscar-award-winning director has directed Eternals.
