Star of 'Black Panther' called on stage man who stopped Waffle House shooting gunman in April.
The MTV Movie & TV Awards gave "Black Panther" its first taste of
awards glory, with Marvel's blockbuster taking home four honors
including two awards for its star, Chadwick Boseman.
Boseman quickly handed off his best hero award to James Shaw Jr., who
wrestled an assault-style rifle away from a gunman in a Tennessee Waffle
House in April. "This is going to live at your house," Boseman told
Shaw, giving him the show's golden popcorn award.
The actor said while it was an honor to be recognized for playing a
superhero, it was more important to "acknowledge the heroes we have in
real life."
Boseman, who starred as T'Challa in "Black Panther," also won the
award for best performance in a movie. Michael B. Jordan, who played the
villain Erik Killmonger, won best villain.
"Stranger Things" was the top television honoree, winning four awards including a repeat win for best show.
The awards were handed out Saturday and were broadcast Monday night.
