Regé-Jean Page, Viola Davis, and more win big at 2021 NAACP Image Awards (original) (raw)
The Regé-Jean Page train just keeps on rolling.
The Bridgerton star was among the big winners at Saturday's 52nd NAACP Image Awards ceremony, earning the Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series award for his performance on Netflix's steamy series. Meanwhile, Viola Davis took home two trophies, for Outstanding Actress in both a Drama Series and a Motion Picture, for How to Get Away With Murder and _Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Her late Ma Rainey costar Chadwick Boseman also continued his awards season dominance, picking up Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture posthumously.
Other winners included Issa Rae for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series (for Insecure), Bad Boys For Life for Outstanding Motion Picture, and D-Nice, who picked up Entertainer of the Year, likely thanks to his Instagram Live parties during quarantine. Eddie Murphy also received the prestigious Hall of Fame Award, joining such past honorees as Oprah Winfrey and Richard Pryor.
