For many of Chadwick Boseman's fans, the recently concluded Oscars 2021 was a bit of a letdown. The late actor was nominated in the Best Actor category for his performance in 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' and many hoped he would be getting the posthumous honour. The award, however,&nbsp;went to Sir Anthony Hopkins for 'The Father'.&nbsp;

Now, days after the ceremony, the star's brother has addressed the backlash the event has been getting from his fans and said that the family is not upset with the decision as veteran actor Anthony Hopkins deserved the win.

Chadwick`s family has a message for those saying that the late actor was snubbed from the Oscars ceremony, which was held on Sunday night.The `Black Panther` star`s brother, Derrick Boseman, told TMZ, that he doesn`t view Chadwick not winning an Oscar for Best Actor as a snub because "every nominated actor was excellent and deserving of the award."

He said that the family is not upset or agitated with why Chadwick`s name was not called at the end of the Oscars ceremony. The family also wished Hopkins and his family all the best. Derrick added, "I'm sure Anthony would if Chad won."

Media reports stated that a throng of celebrities felt Chadwick got snubbed following his stellar performance in the 2020 film `Ma Rainey`s Black Bottom`, his last role before he died.

Model Winnie Harlow reacted to the news on her social media calling it "insane" that the late actor didn`t get the accolade. Derrick also admitted that Chadwick was not a man who put too much value on the Oscars. "Yes, an Oscar would have been an achievement, but was never an obsession," he added.

On a related note, Hopkins who did not attend the ceremony in person made a short video from his home to weigh in on his surprise Oscar win. He also paid a heartfelt tribute to Chadwick." I want to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who was taken from us far too early. I did not expect this, so I feel very privileged and honoured," he said in his video.

Hopkins took home his second Academy Award after he won the first one for best actor in 1992 for his performance in `The Silence of the Lambs`. 
He bagged the award during the Sunday ceremony his phenomenal performance in `The Father' where he played an aging man struggling with dementia as his daughter (Oscar winner Olivia Colman) moves in to take care of him.

The best actor was the final award of the ceremonial night. Joaquin Phoenix, last year`s best actor winner for `Joker,` presented the category and accepted the award on Hopkins` behalf. With his win, the star made history as the oldest actor, male or female, to earn an Oscar.

`The Father` went into the Academy Awards ceremony with six nominations, including best picture, film editing, production design and a best-supporting actress nod for Colman.&nbsp;

Oscars 2021: Here's a look back at posthumous Oscar winners

'Black Panther'&nbsp;director Ryan Coogler said on Friday he would shoot the hit movie's sequel in Georgia as planned, despite his opposition to restrictions on voting rights in the state that have prompted calls by some for a boycott.

Coogler said in a guest column for Hollywood trade website Deadline.com that pulling out of Georgia to make the sequel would adversely affect the lives of people involved in making the film.

"For those reasons I will not be engaging in a boycott of Georgia," Coogler wrote. "Our film is staying in Georgia. Additionally, I have made a personal commitment to raise awareness about ways to help overturn this harmful bill."

'Black Panther',&nbsp;the first superhero movie with a predominantly Black cast, made more than $1.3 billion at the global box office. Starring the late Chadwick Boseman, the Walt Disney Co film was the highest-grossing movie in North America in 2018.

Coogler announced his decision two days after more than 100 companies, and Hollywood stars including George Clooney and director J.J. Abrams, declared their opposition to voting curbs in Georgia and other states.

Civil rights groups and others say the measures unfairly target Black and ethnic groups. Actor Will Smith and director Antoine Fuqua said this week they would move production on their runaway slave thriller "Emancipation" out of Georgia, which has become a major production hub for Hollywood.

Coogler on Friday wrote that he was "profoundly disappointed" at the passing of the bill in Georgia in March but had decided to educate himself before making a decision about filming the sequel there.

"Having now spoken with voting rights activists in the state, I have come to understand that many of the people employed by my film, including all the local vendors and businesses we engage, are the very same people who will bear the brunt of SB202," he said, referring to the name of the bill.

NAACP Image Award 2021 winners list: Chadwick Boseman wins big

Oscars 2021: Meet the Best Actor/Actress nominees

Chadwick Boseman death has come as a shock to many of his fans and his colleagues and now 'Black Panther' director Ryan Coogler is among those who are missing the actor and working with him.&nbsp; 
 
Ryan started working on the Black Panther sequel and fined it really hard to work on the Marvel sequel without the late actor.&nbsp; 
 
Speaking with Jemele Hill on her Unbothered podcast, Coogler said he's still&nbsp;going through the mourning process and revealed that it is not easy to create Wakanda without its true King T’Challa.&nbsp; 
 
"One thing that I've learned in my short or long time on this Earth is that it's very difficult to have perspective on something while you're going through it," the 34-year-old director revealed. "This is one of the more profound things that I've gone through in my life, having to be a part of keeping this project going without this particular person who is like the glue who held it together." 
 
Chadwick Boseman, well-known for playing T’Challa in 'Black Panther', died last August at age 43 after a private four-year battle with colon cancer. He continued, "I'm trying to find a work-life balance. But I'm not there yet, so this is without a question the hardest thing I've had to do in my professional life." 
 
Now, the director sees Boseman as an ancestor he had the privilege of knowing. "I'm incredibly sad to lose him but I'm also incredibly motivated that I got to spend time with him," he said. "You spend your life hearing about people like him. For this individual, who is an ancestor now, I was there for it. It's such an incredible privilege that fills you up as much as it knocks you out. So often as Black people, we have to pick up the pieces after a loss." 
 
Last year, Chadwick was all set to start his preparation for the 'Black Panther' sequel, ''Chadwick was convinced until about a week before his death and will gain weight and take proper shape before the filming starts. The actor was confident that he would have the strength to return as the king of Wakanda'', the reports say. 
 
Boseman won his <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-chadwick-boseman-wins-his-first-golden-globe-award-posthumously-367017">first Golden Globe</a> for the best actor award for the Netflix film 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'- which served as a swansong for the actor.&nbsp;

Ryan Coogler says working on 'Black Panther 2' without Chadwick Boseman is 'hardest thing' ever

Michael B&nbsp;Jordan was one of the million fans of late actor Chadwick Boseman. The actor who co-starred with Boseman in 'Black Panther' was grief-stricken and shocked after learning about his&nbsp;demise on August 28, when Boseman succumbed to a silent battle with cancer.&nbsp; 
 
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Jordan opened up about his pain of losing a friend.&nbsp;The 34-year-old was asked&nbsp;what made him cry the most in the last year and his late 43-year-old friend came instantly to his mind.

"Our relationship was a very personal one and had a lot of great moments—some that I couldn’t fully appreciate and fully understand until now. I wish I had more time to have our relationship evolve, and grow, and become closer and stronger. We got a concentrated dose of Chadwick. He did more in his 43 years of life than most people have done in a lifetime. And he was here for the time he was supposed to be here, and he had his impact, and his legacy" he said. 
 
Talking further about the greatness of Boseman, Jordan added, "That was clear with the abundance of love that he has gotten from people all over the world. There are generations of kids coming up that look to him. It’s incredible. And losing him was…Yeah, man, it hurt. It hurt a lot. That’s probably what made me cry the most this year." 
 
Boseman portrayed King T'Challa, in Black Panther and&nbsp;in three other Marvel movies: Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). The actor,<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-chadwick-boseman-wins-his-first-golden-globe-award-posthumously-367017"> more recently,&nbsp;posthumously won his first Golden Globe for his work in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom</a>.

It was a bittersweet moment for late actor Chadwick Boseman's wife Simone Ledward who accepted the Best Actor (drama) award on behalf of her husband at the Golden Globes on Sunday night.&nbsp; 
 
"He would thank God. He would thank his parents. He would thank his ancestors for their guidance and their sacrifices," an emotional Ledward said.

Chadwick Boseman wins his first Golden Globe award posthumously

Golden Globe 2021: Chadwick Boseman to Chloe Zhao, the big winners of the night

From Regina King to Chadwick Boseman: Black frontrunners of this award season

Three years ago, Natalie Portman presented the best director category at the Golden Globes with a sting in her voice.

“Here are the all-male nominees,” she said.

This year, for the very first time, a majority of the directors in that category are women. It was announced last week that Chloé Zhao ('Nomadland'), Regina King ('One Night in Miami') and Emerald Fennell ('Promising Young Woman') will vie for the best director Globe alongside David Fincher ('Mank') and Aaron Sorkin ('The Trial of the Chicago 7'), and those same filmmakers may well hear their names again when the Oscar nominations are read March 15.

In a category that has historically overlooked female directors, this feels like progress. After all, only five women have ever been nominated for the best director Oscar, and if Zhao, King and Fennell all make it in, that number would nearly double in a single year.

But look a little closer, and there’s still a pernicious double standard at play: Fincher and Sorkin were given tens of millions to make their films, while the women had to make do with much less. 'Nomadland'&nbsp;cost under $5 million, 'One Night in Miami'&nbsp;was budgeted at $16.9 million and “Promising Young Woman” fell somewhere in between.

None of the five women previously nominated for the best director Oscar have had it any better: Jane Campion (“The Piano”), Sofia Coppola (“Lost in Translation”) and Greta Gerwig (“Lady Bird”) made their movies for $10 million or less, and Kathryn Bigelow’s budget for “The Hurt Locker” — a scant $15 million — is the most that a female nominee in this category has ever been given.

I don’t point this out to sound like a sad trombone in the Oscars’ orchestra pit, because when history is made during awards season, I believe it’s worth celebrating. This particular year could produce the most diverse lineup of Oscar nominees ever, as women and people of color are projected to make up the majority in several top races.

But I know it will be tempting for Hollywood to give out those laurels and then rest on them. For example, in a year that is almost certain to see nominated actors like Riz Ahmed (“Sound of Metal”), Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman (“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”), Daniel Kaluuya (“Judas and the Black Messiah”) and Leslie Odom, Jr. (“One Night in Miami”), academy members may crow that #OscarsSoWhite is a thing of the past.

It isn’t that simple, and even this potentially landmark awards season still offers ample proof.

Just look at the Golden Globes’ most prestigious category, best drama, where none of the year’s major Black-led films were nominated. Not “One Night in Miami,” not “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” not “Judas and the Black Messiah” and not “Da 5 Bloods.”

Or look to BAFTA, considered the British equivalent of the Oscars, and the group’s “longlists” for each category, released last week. Spike Lee’s Vietnam-vet drama “Da 5 Bloods” landed on nine of those longlists — including best film, screenplay, and editing — but Lee was pointedly left out of the group of 20 filmmakers nominated for best director. (If BAFTA voters were trying to send a message to Lee, did they realize the rest of the world was BCC’d?)

You could even look to last year, when “Parasite” made Oscar history as the first film not in the English language to win best picture but couldn’t earn a single nomination in the acting categories. Awkwafina and Zhao Shuzhen, hailing from a critics’ favorite, “The Farewell,” were similarly snubbed by the academy, and those exclusions led Vulture’s E. Alex Jung to write about “an old prejudice at work here that sees Asian people as technical workers.”

That’s why Jung felt that filmmakers like Bong Joon Ho and Ang Lee could win Oscars while the actors from their films were wholly overlooked, and it’s why I wonder about the ultimate fate of the forthcoming “Minari,” Lee Isaac Chung’s moving family drama starring Steven Yeun, Yeri Han and Yuh-Jung Youn. Even though a Korean movie has now won best picture at the Oscars, no Korean or Korean American actor has ever so much as been nominated. Can the actors of “Minari” break through those long-held biases?

Things look more promising at the Independent Spirit Awards, where “Minari” scored three acting nominations and was recognized in the screenplay, director and best feature categories, too. At this ceremony, which will be held days before the Oscars in April, the feature and director categories are exclusively made up of nominated movies directed by women and people of color.

But is that a road map for the academy to follow as it enacts new diversity guidelines, or is it a reminder of the limits that have already plagued this industry for far too long? To be eligible for the Independent Spirit Awards, a movie must be made for less than $22.5 million. During awards season, directors from underrepresented groups are rarely working with much more.

Zhao, King and Fennell may still make this year’s Oscar lineup, but what will happen next year, when even more expensive movies like Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” reenter the fray? Those films had the luxury of waiting out the pandemic for a more advantageous theatrical release, and the best director category could easily tilt back toward the sort of auteur-driven spectacle that men dominate and nominate.

No matter what happens this awards season or the next, voters should remember that progress isn’t simply secured — it’s something you have to keep reaching for. Back in 2014, there were people of color in most of the acting categories, Alfonso Cuarón (“Gravity”) won the directing Oscar, and Steve McQueen’s “12 Years a Slave” took best picture.

The very next year kicked off #OscarsSoWhite.

'Keep shining your light on us', said the wife of late Hollywood star Chadwick Boseman, Taylor Simone, as she came out in public and opened up for the first time since his death. Chadwick Boseman posthumously received the Actor Tribute honor at the Gotham Awards on Monday, and&nbsp;Simone gave a moving speech celebrating his legacy.

"He was the most honest person I'd ever met because he didn't just stop at speaking the truth: he actively searched for it in himself and those around him and in the moment," she said in a virtual speech. "The truth can be a very easy thing for the self to avoid, but if one does not live in truth then it's impossible to live in line with the divine purpose for your life. And so it became how he lived his life, day in and out. Imperfect but determined."

She continued: "In doing so, he was able to give himself over fully in every moment, to be totally present in his own life and in the lives of people he became. He was blessed to live many lives within his concentrated one. He developed his understanding of what it meant to be the none, the one, and the all.

"'A vessel to be poured into and out of,' he said. He harnessed the power of letting go and letting God's love shine through," she continued. "He realized that when one is able to recognize that when their strength does not come from themself, they rarely mess up. That's what he was doing when he was acting. [He] was not merely telling a story or reading lines on a page, but modeling a path to true fulfillment."

Viola Davis shares clip of Chadwick Boseman playing guitar on the set 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'

Anger, naivety, passion, trauma mixed with blues and you get a perfectly balanced cocktail called 'Ma Rainey's Blck Bottom'. Chadwick Boseman’s last appearance on-screen, the film is a testament of his performance as an actor and of Viola Davis' fiery presence. The film gets you excited, makes you tap your shoes, smile at Lavee and the band's conversations and leaves you teary-eyed and frustrated by the end of it. Now if that’s not all the notes to touch while listening to a song-story, I don’t know what else is. ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ flows like one of Mother of Blues’ songs and this is exactly what it intended to do.&nbsp; 
 
Directed by George C. Wolfe and based on the play of the same name by August Wilson, the story takes place in a day’s event at a recording studio where Ma Rainey’s is recording her songs with the band. The one hour thirty minutes see the temperature rise within the studios as many shades of characters develop and change, as you learn more about them.

At the center is Levee, a passionate young member of trailblazing performer Ma Rainey’s band, who wants to pump up the world with music people can dance to. On the other hand is Ma Rainey, a woman who has created a niche in the world of blues and has learnt how to keep things moving in her favour, both come with their own struggles and trauma attached. How these two control the situations and how the situations control the two, leaving both empty-handed by the end of the film, is what makes the film. Poetry where the heroes know the path they are taking, yet are appalled by the circumstances that occur by the end of their action, is hauntingly beautiful.&nbsp;

There’s always some beauty in films that rely heavily on storytelling and one on one dialogues, rather than just expressions. The film has a lot of heavy talking, but it never feels boring. The most tear-jerking moments in the film are said in the film, rather than shown, and both of them are explained through words of Ma Rainey and Lavee, expressed only through eyes and a lot of anguish.&nbsp;

As for Chadwick Boseman, Ma Rainey’s is a perfect swansong. You see him as a young, passionate Lavee who loves to live in style, has dreams as big as his shoe’s budget, and a darkness that’s even bigger. A man who gains and loses it all within the span of the film. &nbsp;There is a fight that breaks out between Cutler ( Colman Domingo) and him over god ignoring his black devotees and it breaks your heart, relating it to incidents of 2020. The relevance gets to you. The anger is real and the questions still worth pondering over.&nbsp;

Viola Davis’ Ma is fierce, controlling and legit, however, she knows till where she can control the narrative. She fights fair, but she has given her all to reach where she is now. In the film, she very fondly talks about blues and how it helps her get out of bed every morning, she goes on to say, “I ain’t invent the blues, the blues always been there,” and yet owns her action of making blues popular by adding, “but if they want me to call the mother of blues, I ain’t complaining”

There’s a lot of layers that the film offers. Living as a black person in the 1920s is just one of them. The deeper layers exist in the human portrayal of these people. The fear of failure, the will to be in control and the lack-lustrous ambition to just live another day, to be a leftover.&nbsp;

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is a poem in the rhythm of the blue. The chords sit well, yet make you uncomfortable, in a sad well-intentioned way. Don’t you skip on it, this track will get you hooked. &nbsp;

Chadwick Boseman to Sean Connery: Hollywood stars we’ve lost in 2020

Marvel Studios has seen an empty year as it was the first with no new release movies since 2009, due&nbsp;to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Apart from that, the studio has also been tasked with <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/how-disney-should-handle-black-panther-2-after-chadwick-bosemans-death-325190">finding out how to move forward with one of its most popular characters 'Black Panther'</a>, following the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/rest-in-power-king-tchalla-black-panther-actor-chadwick-boseman-is-no-more-323901">death of its star Chadwick Boseman. </a> 
 
The studio is now preparing to kick off production on the Black Panther sequel next July in Atlanta, after the tragic loss of Chadwick Boseman in August, as well as the Hollywood shut down back in March.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the sequel was originally intended to begin production in March of next year.&nbsp;But Boseman's untimely passing at age 43 left Marvel and writer/director Ryan Coogler navigating grief and how to move forward.

The new film will see Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and Angela Bassett returning. According to fan websites and course of the comic, Wright's character Shuri is rumoured to be taking on a larger role, after fans urged the studio to have her don the Black Panther costume as the superhero's successor.

Although Marvel has not revealed how they plan to move forward with the story, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/chadwick-boseman-wont-be-digitally-recreated-for-black-panther-sequel-says-marvel-evp-343391">they have indicated that they don't intend to include the late Boseman via CGI.</a>

The news of the new production date comes with the announcement that Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta is in talks to join the new installment as the main antagonist.

As 'Black Panther 2'&nbsp;is one of the first of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 4 films to go into production, amid the massive COVID-related delays, the studio is preparing for 2021 to be its busiest year, with their push into TV.

In March, they're beginning production on their shows 'She-Hulk'&nbsp;(starring Tatiana Maslany) and Oscar Isaac’s 'Moon Knight'. Meanwhile, the WandaVision spin-off starring Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Paul Bettany's Vision hits the streaming platform January 15. The studio is working to complete production on 'Loki'&nbsp;and 'Falcon and the Winter Soldier', which began before the lockdown in March.

Chadwick Boseman will not be digitally recreated in Marvel movies. With a 'Black Panther'&nbsp;sequel in the works, Marvel Studios EVP Victoria Alonso told Argentinian outlet Clarin that they have no plans to digitally recreate the late actor. 
 
Chadwick Boseman<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/black-panther-star-chadwick-boseman-dies-of-cancer-aged-43-323821">&nbsp;died in August at the age of 43</a> following a quiet battle with colon cancer, leaving his fans and colleagues in shock.&nbsp;He left behind a great legacy, which included starring in the Oscar-nominated&nbsp;'Black Panther'.

"No. There’s only one Chadwick and he’s not with us. Our king, unfortunately, has died in real life, not just in fiction, and we are taking time to see how we continue the story and what we do to honor this chapter of what has happened to us that was so unexpected, so painful, so terrible, really," Alonso said in Spanish. " 
 
Because Chadwick was not only a wonderful human being every day for the five years that we spent together, but it also seems to me that what he did as&nbsp;the character elevated us as a company, and left his mark in history."

"I know that sometimes two months go by or three months go by in production and you say, well, it was a long time," she continued. "But it is not a long time, we have to think carefully about what we are going to do, and how, and think about how we are going to honour the franchise."

Leticia Wright, who played Shuri in Black Panther, has expressed that a new movie without him would be "strange."

"We’re just still mourning Chad, so it’s not something I even want to think about,” the 27-year-old actress admitted to net-a-porter. "The thought of doing it without him is kinda strange. We’re just grieving at the moment, so it’s trying to find the light in the midst of it."
