Boseman, who died in August at age 43 after a private bout with colon cancer, was also nominated for the Best Actor Gotham Award for his role as a volatile musician in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” but he lost to Riz Ahmed of “Sound of Metal,” Indiewire reported.
His “Ma Rainey” costar, Viola Davis, received the Actress Tribute.
