The actor died in August after a cancer battle.
Chadwick Boseman's acting work is still earning him recognition, even after his death. On Thursday, the Independent Filmmaker Project announced the nominees for the 30th Annual IFP Gotham Awards, which included a posthumous nod for Boseman in the Best Actor category.
Boseman's nomination was for his work in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, a Netflix film that's set to be released Dec. 4. The late actor, who died in August after a battle with cancer, joins Riz Ahmed, Jude Law, John Magaro and Jesse Plemons in the Best Actor category.
"We congratulate the 2020 IFP Gotham Award nominees," Jeffrey Sharp, Executive Director of IFP, said in a press release. "In this unprecedented year we look forward to bringing the industry together and shining a light on some incredible films and television shows. We are proud to be celebrating our 30th anniversary in our resilient city, and continuing the core mission of IFP, independent storytelling."
The 30th Annual IFP Gotham Awards will be presented live from Cipriani Wall Street New York on Jan. 11. The ceremony will be put on in a hybrid format featuring virtual interactive tables, due to COVID-19 safety precautions.
