Apparently, the runner-up was a fellow named Chadwick Boseman. Since Boseman is black (his name suggests that he could be half-Jewish like Smolett), that means that he has a divine right to any award over any huwhite, particularly an older huwhite man who says that actors should not stick their mutilated noses into politics.
I'd congratulate Hopkins if the Oscars had any value, but since they do not...
Boseman is Black Panther from the MCU. He is also recently deceased. The people clamoring for his posthumous award are riding the use-recently-deceased-Black-people-as-symbols hype train.

Yes, it's in part because Boseman is black, but also because he ded.
Wakanda forever!
Not going to do him much good, is it then?
It's not for him. It's for the kangz.
None of this virtue signalling bullshit is for the benefit of the subject. It's all just to feed the ego of narcissists.
