DVF Awards

Washington, D.C., Feb. 19

Unity Championed

“You don’t have to worry

if the Oscars are so white

or not — it doesn’t matter

because here we are all

celebrating each other,”

said Harold Perrineau,

who won best supporting

actor in a drama series for

his role on TNT’s Claws, at

the NAACP Image Awards.

Held at the Pasadena

Convention Center, the

51st annual awards recog-

nized the achievements of

people of color and those

who promote social justice

in TV, music, literature

and film. The night’s big

winners included host

Anthony Anderson as

Black-ish dominated the

TV awards; Lizzo (2), who

took home entertainer of

the year; Just Mercy, which

nabbed best film as well as

actor and supporting actor

for Michael B. Jordan (9)

and Jamie Foxx, respec-

tively; and Lupita Nyong’o,

who won best actress

for Us. Other highlights

included a tribute to

Kobe Bryant ahead of

his Feb. 24 public Staples

Center memorial, plus hon-

ors for Congressman John

Lewis and Rihanna (4),

who received a standing

ovation. “If there’s anything

I’ve learned, it’s that we

can fix this world together,”

she said. “We can’t do it

divided.” — ALEX CRAMER

Clinton Honors RBG

For the first time, the DVF

Awards took place at the

Library of Congress, to

ensure that the evening’s

recipient of the Lifetime

Leadership Award, Justice

Ruth Bader Ginsburg (17),

could be present. “In

my long life, I have seen

great changes,” Ginsburg

said during an onstage

conversation after an

introduction by Hillary

Clinton (13). “That’s what

makes me an optimist for

the future.” She added

that the biggest obstacle

to gender equality has

been the bias that persists.

Other honorees included

supermodel Iman (15),

plus Priti Patkar (16) and

Saskia Niño de Rivera

for their efforts in India

and Mexico, respectively.
