Michael B. Jordan wins entertainer of the year at NAACP Image Awards

Michael B. Jordan took home entertainer of the year at the 57th NAACP Image Awards, winning for his dual role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack in the blues-soaked vampire tale "Sinners". Hosted by comedian Deon Cole, the ceremony celebrated some of the biggest names in Black entertainment.



Jordan thanked his father for grounding him in Black history and giving him the confidence to know exactly who he is.



The Oscar nominee also won best actor in a motion picture, dedicating the honor to his late "Black Panther" co-star Chadwick Boseman. Before that, "Sinners" secured best motion picture, cementing a major night for the film, which was directed by Ryan Coogler.



Coogler's "Sinners," a celebration of blues music and Black culture in the Segregation-era U.S. South, has become a breakout phenomenon, shattering records with 16 Oscar nominations and more than $368 million at the global box office.
