Chadwick Boseman Shares Gratitude For Golden Globes Nominations

Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman has thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for nominating the Marvel Studios blockbuster in three Golden Globes categories. Black Panther has been nominated for Best Picture as a drama — the first superhero film to be nominated in that category — and will compete against Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman, Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, Barry Jenkins period drama If Beale Street Could Talk, and the Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga-led A Star Is Born. Composer Ludwig Göransson was tapped for Best Original Score while Black Panther’s breakout single and end credits track, Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “All the Stars,” won a nomination for Best Original Song. In November, Boseman was named the People’s Choice Awards’ Male Movie Star of 2018 and Black Panther was designated by the National Board of Review as one of its “Top Films” for 2018. The award recognition comes after the Ryan Coogler-directed Marvel Cinematic Universe entry earned more than $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office, becoming the ninth highest-grossing movie of all time and just the third movie in history to bypass $700 million at the domestic box office — behind only Disney’s own Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936m) and James Cameron’s Avatar ($760m).
