Anderson County native Chadwick Boseman could make history on Monday.
The T.L Hanna High School graduate could be named in historic Oscar nominations on Monday morning, capping a phenomenal and too-brief career in Hollywood.
Boseman, who died in August at 43 after a private bout with colon cancer, did not live to receive a highly-regarded Oscar nomination for his previous movies. But two movies released in 2020 Ma Rainey s Black Bottom and Da 5 Bloods have ushered in a whole new level of critical acclaim.
Industry publications including Variety and EW are predicting that Boseman is expected to get at least one and potentially two posthumous Oscar nominations and is a front-runner to win the best actor category.

The 44th stamp in the Black Heritage series honors playwright August Wilson (April 27, 1945-October 2, 2005), the “the theater’s poet of Black America,” who brought fresh perspectives and previously unheard voices to the American stage.
The stamp features an oil painting of Wilson based on a 2005 photograph. Behind Wilson, a picket fence alludes to the title of
Fences, one of his best-known plays. Eerily, the way the fence is depicted recalls Ku Klux Klan hoods with eyeholes, a subtle reminder that peering over his shoulder, and over the shoulders of every Black American in particular but truly over the entire nation, is the violent history of enslavement and Jim Crow from 1619 onward.
