“People say so much about the other awards, but it’s special when it comes from your own people,” Jamie said (via USA Today), who won best supporting actor for his role in Just Mercy.

“It’s just special,” Jamie added after receiving the award from the organization, which actively reviews films with an emphasis on projects that include the black experience. The awards mainly highlight films produced, written, directed and starring people from the African diaspora along with other ethnic projects that break new ground.

Also in attendance at the ceremony were Sterling K. Brown, Issa Rae, Lena Waithe, Bong Joon Ho, Melina Matsoukas, Lil Rel Howery, Garcelle Beauvais and Trevor Jackson.

The two stars play a couple that experiences a defining moment in their relationship when they are unintentionally embroiled in a murder mystery.

Michael Showalter, who directed Kumail in his breakout movie The Big Sick, is directing The Lovebirds. The film hits theaters on April 3.

If you haven’t already seen, no women were nominated for a 2020 Oscar nomination this year in the Best Director category, despite some stellar work done by these directors this year.

Nominees included Quentin Tarantino for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Irishman‘s Martin Scorsese, 1917‘s Sam Mendes, Bong Joon-ho for his movie Parasite and Todd Phillips for Joker.

Issa Rae helped announce the nominees for the 2020 Oscars this morning and she seemingly shaded the Academy after seeing the nominations in this category.

After announcing the nominees, Issa looked at the crowd and said, “Congratulations to those men.”

Umbrella Academy writer Sneha Koorse pitched the “comedic noir inspired by one of India’s worst-kept secrets: Big-city gangsters used Bollywood films as a front to launder drug money.”

Badmash will “adopt the taut dialogue, tangled character webs and complex romance of the crime genre set against the backdrop of 1980s Mumbai at the height of the underworld’s power in the film industry. The goal is to make an English-language film with an South Asian ensemble cast, blending genre and culture to create a truly internationally feeling feature.”

“We started ColorCreative to give a platform to stories that the traditional studio system tends to overlook, stories like Badmash,” Issa said in a statement.
