Wakanda was well represented at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards, with “Black Panther” winning the most film trophies, and winning co-stars Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan making headlines with their acceptance speeches.

Black Panther” earned four awards, including best movie. Boseman took home two trophies — for best hero and best movie performance — while Jordan nabbed best villain.

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.”
