The 49th annual Image Awards ceremony, which honors people of color in entertainment and literature as well as people who promote social justice through creative endeavors, was held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and broadcast live on TV One.
DuVernay was named the Entertainer of the Year — an honor previously bestowed on the likes of Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Johnson, and Taraji P. Henson. Get Out earned several accolades, including Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for star Daniel Kaluuya, writing and directing awards for Jordan Peele.
Other winning films were Girls Trip, Gifted, and Detroit. Among the winners in TV categories were Power, Insecure, Scandal, and black-ish, the latter racking up five awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series.
