The Black Panther Cast Radiated Elegance at the NAACP Image Awards, and We Can't Look Away

Black Panther Cast at the 2019 NAACP Image Awards

Wherever the Black Panther cast goes, opulence follows. On Saturday, the all-star group — which includes Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira, Sterling K. Brown, and Letitia Wright — attended the NAACP Image Awards, and naturally, had a ton of fun. They certainly had a reason to be in good spirits, considering how many awards Black Panther took home.

Director Ryan Coogler accepted the awards for outstanding writing in a motion picture film and outstanding directing in a motion picture film. Boseman won outstanding actor in a motion picture for his portrayal of T'Challah, and Jordan — who embodied the film's antagonist Killmonger — snagged the trophy for outstanding supporting actor in a motion picture. Danai, who played the fierce warrior Okoye, earned the title of outstanding supporting actress in a motion picture.

But the wins didn't stop there, as Wright (Princess Shuri) secured the award for outstanding breakthrough performance in a motion picture, and the cast accepted the prize for outstanding ensemble cast in a motion picture. Their successful night was finally topped off with one of the biggest wins: the award for outstanding motion picture. There's no denying that Black Panther sparked a cultural movement and introduced us to this amazing cast, so we'll proudly yell, "Wakanda forever!" for many years to come.
