Fan favorite! Michael played villain Erik in the hit super hero film Black Panther
The fan favorite movie was also the recipient of Best Movie, Best Performance In A Movie for Chadwick Boseman, and Best Hero during the awards show.
In May, Roseanne was widely condemned after posting a series of racist and offensive tweets, including comparing former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape.
She also accused 87-year-old Jewish billionaire George Soros, who survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary during World War II, of being a Nazi collaborator.
ABC swiftly canceled Barr's hit show 'Roseanne' and slammed the comedienne's comments as 'abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values'.
Following the fallout, Barr apologized for the tweet about Jarrett and to her own colleagues.
She also apologized to Soros, two weeks after making the accusation.
