Boseman’s wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, agreed, saying, “What a perfectly aligned moment that one of the last things he would work on would not only be revisiting a character that was so important to him and his career and for the world. , but also for it to be an exploration of something new, diving into a new potential future.”
Former President Barack Obama won his first Emmy, for narrating the Netflix docuseries Our Great National Parks. He is now halfway through the EGOT, having won two Grammys.
