Breaks my heart to know this man was suffering the way he did without anyone knowing…
Not me at 1 am crying from men being men with each other.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF GOD'S WORK,AND LORD YOU DID YOUR WORK ON THIS GUY,THANK YOU FOR THE WITNESS. 🙏 WE WILL REMEMBER.

My dream takes a picture with him one of the dopest actors on the earth. He one of my childhood heroes. I was growing up watching his movie. I have Mach respect my childhood heroes Denzel Washington. I love you bro!!!
R.I.P Chadwick Boseman, God bless his family and friends 🙏🏾❤️
When I watched this the first time I just figured he was skinny for a new movie he was doing. God I wish that was the reason. Chadwick was the man.
Tribute offered to a KING 👑 from another KING 👑
It feels awkward hearing him with this accent am already used to his african accent
What an absolute Chad.
I have been binge watching clips of this event, and watching all kinds of people say nice things about Denzel at this event, including Morgan Freeman, etc.
This tribute by Chadwick Boseman is the ONLY one I have seen which Denzel gave a standing ovation to. He connected with this man on a deeper level.
Denzel definitely knew the young man was dying….rip bro
This is by far the best tribute given to anyone in the Academy. Rest in Peace Chad.
got tears in my eyes watching this r.i.p WAKANDA FOREVER
no tears no tears noooooo ….god damn it
That was one powerful tribute. So sad to lose a talent like you Chadwick.
