The world was shocked and saddened when actor Chadwick Boseman, best known for his role in Black Panther, passed away at the age of 43 after a lengthy and private fight with cancer.
Many fans were hoping to see the actor honored at the Academy Awards this weekend, but they left disappointed and angry with the showrunners.
Many fans felt that he not only deserved the win for the role, but also deserved it as a way to honor his legacy and contribution to the film world before his passing.
The Best Actor category was also moved to the end of the show instead of the usual Best Picture, which lead many fans to believe they had a tribute planned for Chadwick winning.
"Chadwick was robbed of his award and they changed their layout so best actor was last, which made ppl think he would end up winning, only to lose when it was one of his last chances to win a major award for his incredible, and unforgettable acting," tweeted one fan.
