By Firstladyb

Some of our favorite celeb’s were on hand for the 2017 Spirit Awards that were held yesterday afternoon in Santa Monica, California.  

Scandal star, Kerry Washington was joined by her handsome husband Nnamdi Asomugha at the Spirit Awards.  The couple posed it up with director, Ava DuVernay who is nominated for an Oscar for her movie 13th, along with actor David Oyelowo.

Kerry Washington presented Moonlight with the Robert Altman Award during the ceremony.

Orange Is The New Black Star, Danielle Brooks on the carpet for the awards show.  Brooks recently talked about how people are reacting to her new modeling campaign with Lane Bryant.

‘Women are seeing themselves and are feeling beautiful about their bodies because they’re having people who are bold enough to say that they’re fearless in their skin.”

Hidden Figures star, Taraji P. Henson presented the Best Supporting Male actor award during the ceremony.

Janelle Monae slayed on the carpet in white, donning a black-and-white striped Salvatore Ferragamo jacket over a zig-zag printed dress.

Moonlight was the big winner at the Spirit Awards, winning in all categories.  Could Moonlight upset LaLaLand at the Oscars? We hope so!

Make sure to tune into  the Oscars, which air tonight on ABC to see who takes home the gold statue… We’re cheering on Hidden Figures, Fences,  Moonlight, Ava DuVernay, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer,  Denzel Washington and Mahershala Ali.
