2018 image awards1

via eurweb:

*For the first time, the NAACP Image Awards were held on the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday. The 49th edition of the awards was held Monday night (01-15-18) at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

You probably won’t be surprised to learn that ABC’s “black-ish” commanded the comedy category in television, but “Power” ruled Outstanding Drama.  The hilarious “Girls Trip” won for Outstanding Motion Picture and the Entertainer of the Year is none other than Ava DuVernay.

“Power” star Omari Hardwick is now known for winning an Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series award and on the movie end, Daniel Kaluuya won for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for his role “Get Out.”

“I don’t think you’re allowed to beat Denzel Washington in acting competition!” Kaluuya said during his acceptance speech. Both Hardwick and Kaluuya were first-time NAACP Image Awards winners.

Also Monday evening, Danny Glover was honored with the NAACP President’s Award while other winners included Taraji P. Henson for “Empire” as well as Octavia Spencer for “Gifted.”
