Will Smith, Issa Rae och Jazmine Sullivan också bland vinnarna.

30 år efter att ha temat upp på klassiska låten “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need to Get By” har Method Man och Mary J. Blige nu skördat helt nya framgångar tillsammans. Eller tillsammans och tillsammans, men åtminstone sida vid sida. Båda tog nämligen hem priser på NAACP Image Awards i lördags kväll, för sina respektive roller i 50 Cents spinoff “Power Book II: Ghost”.

Blige tog hem kategorin “Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series” och Meth drog längsta strået i “Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series”. Den förstnämnda uttryckte sin glädje via sociala medier kort efter:

“Thank you @naacpimageawards for your years of love and support! Thank you to everyone who voted!! Your love and support means a lot. Thank you @courtneyakemp & @50cent for this amazing opportunity! Thank you #JeffHirsch & everyone at @starz. The amazing cast, crew, EP’s & everyone at of @ghoststarz!!”.

Method Man har fått många lovord för sin roll som advokaten Davis MacLean och “Power Book II: Ghost” blev nyligen förnyad för en tredje säsong där Meth, Mary J. Blige (som spelar Monet Tejada) och exekutiva producenten 50 Cent återvänder för sina roller.

Övriga namn som prisades på galan var Will Smith som vann kategorin “Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture” för sin roll i “King Richard”, Issa Rae som vann “Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series” med egna serien “Insecure” och Jazmine Sullivan, som fick gå hem med en statyett för “Outstanding Female Artist”.

Lägg därtill namn som Tobe Nwigwe, Silk Sonic, Saweetie, Jennifer Hudson och Kevin Hart samt Jay-Z-producerade Netflix-filmen “The Harder They Fall” och Colin Kaepnerick-serien “Colin In Black & White”.
