Kerry Washington won the Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture for The Six Triple Eight at yesterday’s 2025 NAACP Image Awards. She gave her acceptance speech, and everyone thought she was done. So, the show moved on and announced the next presenters.
However, the actress forgot to thank someone. So, she went over to the mic to thank him. But the audio was cut off. Therefore, she walked over to where Beyond the Gates’ Clifton Davis and Karla Mosley were about to announce the next category’s nominees.
Then, she hijacked their mic, and said, “These guys have an amazing show that is premiering soon [tomorrow on CBS]. But I did not thank Tyler Perry [the man behind The Six Triple Eight.]”
There was only one problem. The audience reminded her that she did. And with that, she walked off the stage with her tail between her legs.
Personally, as cute as that was, I think what she did was wrong. It took away from Clifton and Mosley. But as a girl from The Bronx like her, I completely understood what she did. Because you can take a girl out of the Bronx, but you can never ever take the Bronx out of a girl!
Now, over to Tyler Perry. He was touched by what she did and commented about it on social media: “Wow!! MOVED TO TEARS. I can honestly tell you that I live my life never, ever doing a good thing expecting something in return… I give, do, help, try, and lift us up because IT’S JUST THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Why did this move me so much? Because I’ve helped thousands of people—literally thousands of people—live better lives, and I can honestly say, for me to receive a THANK YOU is very rare. So to see someone interrupt a live show to say thank you when she already had moved me to tears.
“To anyone out there who is doing good and that good is ignored, not appreciated, or questioned… JUST KEEP DOING GOOD ANYWAY! Because IT’S RIGHT! GOD will reward you!”
Personally, he should be thanked more often because he has done so much for his actors, which he is loyal to.
