NAACP Awards: Full List of Nominees and Winners

Bridgerton fans must have been happy after Regé-Jean Page’s NAACP Image Award for 2021.

The Bridgerton breakout star took home the outstanding actor in a drama series award for his portrayal of the Duke of Hastings. Page shrugged off competition from Jonathan Majors (Lovecraft Country), Sterling K. Brown (This Is Us), Keith David (Greenleaf) and Nico Annan (P-Valley).  The actor appeared virtually to accept his prize—and it happens to be the very first acting award for Bridgerton.

“Wow, congratulations to everybody in the category,” the 31 year old said. “This absolutely goes out to all the incredible people on our team who made something so unique. It is the highest honor to represent us in the fullness of our beauty, of our glamour, of our splendor, of our royalty, of our romance, of our love.”

He added, “It is the highest honour to represent that and to represent the people I do represent, and I will do my absolute to be worthy of that.”

The NAACP Image Awards put Black talent on the spotlight for their work on TV and contributions to society. Viola Davis, who took home the award for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for her role in ABC’s How to Get Away With Murder, highlighted the importance of the award in her speech.

“What I will say about Hollywood is the same thing that I say about Black history: Actors and artists of color, we are artists. We belong in the same conversion as everyone else, and it’s because a lot of times we are forgotten or not held in as much esteem as sometimes our white counterparts, is why we need the NAACP Image Awards,” she explained. “I don’t know if I can say I look forward to the day where there is no NAACP Image Awards or whatever because we’re dope, right? But I look forward to the day when we no longer have to teach people how to see us, that we no longer have to keep trying to break out of that shroud of invisibility, where our talent can be embraced as much as our white counterparts.”

Of course, Page and Davis weren’t the only stars to be celebrated this year. Earlier we reported that Wizkid, Beyounce, Saint Jhn, and Blu Ivy Carter won the Outstanding Music Video/Visual Album for their collaborative work on ‘Brown Skin Girls,’ and late Chadwick Boseman, Black Panther star also won two awards.
