The 55th NAACP Image Awards aired live on March 16 via BET and CBS
The 2024 NAACP Image Award winners are in!
Following a star-studded ceremony featuring a performance from Andra Day and hosted by Queen Latifah, Usher was honored with 2024 President’s Award, which recognizes figures for their special achievement and distinguished public service.
In the film and TV portion of the awards, Abbott Elementary won big, picking up several awards including outstanding comedy series and a trophy for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series for William Stanford Davis.
Other notable winner included Ayo Edebiri for her role in The Bear, Chloe Bailey for her role in Praise This, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story for outstanding drama series, Swarm for outstanding limited series, A Black Lady Sketch Show for outstanding variety show and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse for outstanding motion picture.
Some Oscar winners continued their prize-winning streak, too — American Fiction's Cord Jefferson took home the prize for outstanding writing in a motion picture just days after winning the best adapted screenplay Oscar.
In the music categories, Victoria Monét took home the prize for outstanding new artist, and Megan Thee Stallion won outstanding hip hop/rap song. Monét snagged another prize for her album "Jaguar II" and outstanding male artist went to Usher for his track "Good Good" with 21 Savage and Summer Walker.
