2. Chadwick Boseman giving his award to Waffle House hero
Boseman walked away with the Best Hero award for his role in Black Panther. He dedicated it to Waffle House hero James Shaw Jr., who was present at the event.
“Receiving an award for playing a superhero is amazing, but it’s even greater to acknowledge the heroes we have in real life,” he said in his acceptance speech.
Shaw is famously known for disarming a gunman during a Waffle House shooting incident in Tennessee which left four people dead and two injured.
3. Michael B. Jordan trolling disgraced comedian Roseanne Barr
The Black Panther star received the Best Villain award and could not help himself but rightfully troll disgraced comedian Roseanne Barr when delivering his acceptance speech.
“I’m shocked that I won this award for Best Villain. I thought for sure Roseanne had this in the bag,” Killmonger jokingly said.
Barr was recently in the news for all the wrong reasons after going on a full Twitter tirade hurling racist insults at former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. ABC subsequently cancelled her sitcom Roseanne as a result.
