A posthumous award is one that’s given to someone who has already passed away. It’s a bittersweet and powerful thing, as it rewards work done by someone who clearly deserves recognition, but sadly is no longer alive to accept the award. This has happened a handful of times by actors and actresses (and other people in the Hollywood sphere). They’ve been given big-time awards like Emmy’s, Golden Globes, and Oscars after they’ve passed away.

For some of them, it’s one of the first times they were given such a prestigious award. For others, it’s an award that is the icing on the cake of a long-time career with many accolades. If you’re curious about the actors and actresses who have won big acting awards posthumously, then you’re in the right place. In this video, we go over some of the most famous people who happened to have died before they could be given a big acting award. Some of these stars were in the later years, so the deaths, while still sad, were slightly more expected. And some were stars whose light was cut short, tragically.
Regardless of a person’s age, it’s sad when a star passes on. We not only lose a person we admire but we are stripped of a chance to watch them work in the years to come. This is especially the case when it comes to powerhouse actors like Heath Ledger and Chadwick Boseman. Both of them are included in this video having died far too young and received posthumous awards for their final performance. So check out this video today for a detailed look at actors who won big awards posthumously (after they died.)
