‘Secret Invasion’ was released last summer and the reactions to it were mixed at best. The show failed to properly adapt a famous comic storyline and was widely criticized for being nonsensical and rushed. Still, this didn’t mean that the show wouldn’t be nominated for plenty of smaller awards. Despite the criticism of the show, the cast remained superb and due to that Don Cheadle in the role of James Rhodes recently won the NAACP Image Award for best supporting actor in the show.

Rhodes was part of a somehow predictable twist that he was a Skrull all along, something that was suspected even before the show was released.

Sherri Shepherd hosted a gala event honoring talented individuals across 20 categories. Cord Jefferson, fresh from winning an Oscar, scooped the Image Award for outstanding screenplay. Ava DuVernay claimed her third Image Award for best director. ‘Abbott Elementary’ snagged two awards, while ‘The Color Purple’ and others also triumphed. Notable winners included Chloe Bailey, Ayo Edebiri, Keith Powers, and productions like ‘Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story’ and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.’

Shepherd received the Outstanding Talk Show Host Award, expressing gratitude for her journey. Dr. Joy Buolamwini received the NAACP-Archewell Digital Civil Rights Award, virtually presented by Prince William and Meghan Markle. The gala featured appearances by various celebrities and performances by Shanice and Kenny Lattimore.
