In her speech, Simone left everyone in tears, she said that Boseman was the most honest person she had ever met, he sought it in himself and woke hard to live in truth. Simone continued that Chadwick lives his life beautifully, and he was determined to be the best, as a man, as a person, as an actor.

He realized that when one is able to recognize that when their strength does not come from themself, they rarely mess up. That’s what he was doing when he was acting. Modelling for us a path to true fulfilment. May we not let his conviction be in vain Simone added.
