'No award win can define Chadwick Boseman's legacy': Michael B Jordan reacts to Black Panther co-star's Oscars snub

Actor Michael B. Jordan has reacted to the result of the 93rd Academy Awards in the lead actor category. Anthony Hopkins won the award for best actor in a leading role for his work in The Father defeating late Chadwick Boseman who was nominated for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

Boseman’s friend Jordan said that his performance is truly special given that it is one of the last things where he is going to be seen. Jordan said, “I’ve said it before, win or lose, when it comes to that, he won.”

Jordan and Boseman worked together in the 2018 superhero film Black Panther.

It was expected that Boseman might receive the Academy Award for his role in Black Bottom. Breaking the convention, this year the award for Best Actor was announced towards the end of the ceremony instead of Best Picture. Boseman’s loss was unexpected for several viewers. However, in an interview with TMZ, the brother of the late actor Derrick Boseman said that their family does not see the loss of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom at the Oscar Awards as a snub because every nominated actor in the category was deserving.

Black Bottom made history at Oscar Awards 2021. Mia Neal and Jamika Wilson from the hair and makeup team of the film became the first Black nominees and winners in the Best makeup and hairstyling category. The two shared their prize with Sergio Lopez-Rivera. The movie also received the Academy Award for the Best costume design. The costume designer is 91-year-old Ann Roth who became the oldest costume designer to win an Oscar.Q

Udaan to AK vs AK, Vikramaditya Motwane’s decade-long genre-hopping filmography is commendable

Director Vikramaditya Motwane’s earliest memory of being on a set is from the 80s when his mother Dipa De Motwane worked as a production manager. It was an ad for Nycil that was being directed by the legendary Shukla Das. “My sister and I had gone and I remember there was a stage where some kids were doing a play and there was a paper dragon,” the 44-year-old had shared in a previous interview to me. But it was much later when he turned 17 that Motwane began to enjoy being on a set. “I used to be very bored initially. Then my mother roped in my friends and I to help on a television chat show called Teen Talk. That’s when I realised that it was the best thing ever.” Since those heady days of being a production assistant, Motwane has gone on to explore many genres as a director. His debut film Udaan (2010) was the first Indian film in seven years to be an official selection at Cannes. The coming-of-age film, starring Rajat Barmecha and Ronit Roy, is a deeply affecting story of a mother...
