This is a speech worth watching a thousand times over.

[downdabeach]

This is the only speech that night that made Denzel Washington stand up.

RIP Boseman.

[manessuarezserantes]

The fact that he was terrible ill when giving this speech is incredible. He loved to make his dream true, not to catch some easy tears. What a wonderfull person we lost.

[AK-hkzk]

“An offering from a sage and a king is more than silver and gold.” That speaks more than anything else. What an amazing speech

[kevonbrown]

"Let he who has watered, be watered"
Rest easy King Boseman.

Greek proverb, “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” Rest In Peace King.

[PoppedToast]

I bet Denzel knew of Chadwick’s illness at the time when many people didn’t. He understood the gravity of that speech than most people in that room

[amandataylor]

Denzel is doing that “dad is trying not to cry” face, and I love it. So sweet!

[tracyfromcincinnati]

He had Denzel's undivided attention as he fought back tears.

[danielj.anthony]

“There’s no Black Panther without Denzel Washington.”
And now there’s no Black Panther, God rest his soul.
Wakanda Forever

Chad: Will you forget about me?

Fans: ''We don't do that here''

[alexortiz]

I cry everytime I see this. This humble man that Chadwick was.. the look on Denzels face as Chadwick honors him..

[RileyChaseFox]

When he said “there is no Black Panther without Denzel Washington” man that hit so hard. Two great phenomenal actors. 🙏 RIP Chadwick. And God bless Denzel Washington.

"There is no 'Black Panther' without Denzel Washington!"

[LAMUERTE-eptq]

If you see. He is not speaking to the crowd he speaking directly to Mr. Washington. Always believe in the young .

[leticiacolombi]

I don't know how many times I heard this speech. sometimes I come back here to hear again, to cherish these two phenomenal artists, to be remembered by what gratitude and hope looks like, to remember that our actions impact other people's lives always

[fannyalexander]

Looking back, he really does look like he’s sick here. The way he walks and his weight loss. It’s so sad yet so inspiring. He is simply truly amazing.
