In his stead, Boseman's wife, Taylor Simone Ledward, collected the honor and shared some wisdom from the late actor.

\"If you see the world unbalanced, be a crusader that pushes heavily on the seesaw of the mind,\" she expressed during the emotional acceptance speech she made on her late husband's behalf. \"That's a quote by Chadwick Boseman.\"

She also thanked her late husband's \"Ma Rainey\" co-stars and honored his parents, Leroy and Carolyn Boseman.

Thank you Simone Ledward Boseman for your strength and grace 🤍 #sagawards pic.twitter.com/hV6v0HIBUU

— SAG Awards® (@SAGawards) April 5, 2021

This is the \"Black Panther\" star's fourth win since his death in August 2020. He has already collected his first Golden Globe, as well as a Gotham Awards, Critics' Choice Award and a NAACP Award.

The actor is also up for an Oscar for best actor at the 2021 Academy Awards, which airs April 25.

Boseman is the second posthumous SAG Award nominee, preceded by Massimo Troisi, who starred in the 1996 film \"The Postman.\"

In addition, Boseman also set the record for most SAG Award nominations in a single year -- with four -- for his lead role in \"Ma Rainey,\" supporting role in \"Da 5 Bloods\" and for being part of the ensemble in both movies.

Boseman died from stage four colon cancer. He was 43.
