So far, the actor has won the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://movieweb.com/golden-globes-chadwick-boseman-best-actor-ma-rainey/\" rel=\"noopener\">Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture</a> - Drama for <em>Ma Rainey's</em>, as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Gotham Award, a Critic's Choice Award, and was nominated for the Bafta for Best Leading Actor.</p>\n<p>The actor's wife, Simone Ledward Boseman, has been accepting the awards on his behalf, and has used this as an opportunity to advocate for early cancer screens. \"Black people in this country are 20 percent more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer and 40 percent more likely to die from it,\" she said during her speech at the NAACP Awards. \"The age for routine screening has recently been lowered to 45 so if you are 45 years of age or older, please get screened. Don't put it off any longer, please get screened.\"</p>\n<p><em>Chadwick Boseman: Portrait of an Artist</em> will only be available on Netflix for a limited time, debuting on April 17 beginning at 12:00 a.m. Pacific time.
