Anderson County native Chadwick Boseman won a posthumous Golden Globe on Sunday for lead actor, the first of several major film awards or nominations he is expected to receive in coming weeks.
Boseman, who died in August of colon cancer at age 43, posthumously won best actor for his career-best turn in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom."
His wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, tearfully accepted the award Sunday over video on behalf of her late husband.
"He would thank God, he would thank his parents, he would thank his ancestors for their guidance and their sacrifices," she said. "I don't have his words, but we have to take all the moments to celebrate all the ones we love. So thank you HFPA for this opportunity to do exactly that. And honey, you keep 'em coming."
