Gestern Abend wurden im Shrine Auditorium die NAACP Image Awards 2013 (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) verliehen und zu den großen Gewinnern des Abends gehörte Kerry Washington.
Die Schauspielerin konnte 3 Preise abräumen. Sie wurde als Beste Schauspielerin in einer Dramaserie für ihre Rolle in „Scandal“ ausgezeichnet und als Beste Nebendarstellerin in „Django Unchained“. Außerdem wurde ihr der President’s Award für ihren Dienst an der Öffentlichkeit verliehen.
Als sie den Preis für ihre Rolle als Broomhilda in „Django Unchained“ annahm, erklärte sie: „Dieser Preise gehört nicht mir. Er gehört unseren Vorfahren. Wir haben diesen Film auf einer Plantage gedreht, auf der Sklaven lebten und sie waren jeden Schritt bei uns.“
LL Cool J, der einen Preis als Bester Darsteller für seine Rolle in „NCIS: Los Angeles“ bekam, widmetet seinen Award Michael Clarke Duncan, der im letzten Jahr verstarb. „Ich wünsche seiner Familie alles Gute. Lasst uns für ihn applaudieren.“
