Kerry Washington and 12 Years a Slave won big at the 45th Annual NAACP Image Awards
The stunning pregnant Scandal star, who showed off her bump in a custom navy and peach Thakoon gown, took home the outstanding actress in a drama series award for Scandal, which won outstanding drama series Saturday night in Pasadena, Calif. at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
And she wasn't the only big winner of the night.
During the show hosted by Anthony Anderson, awards season darling Lupita Nyong'o was also on hand to take home her award for outstanding supporting actress in a motion picture for 12 Years a Slave, which won outstanding motion picture, directing for Steve McQueen, and writing for John Ridley.
"It's been a historical year in film for all of us in this room, and I'm so proud to be a part of that history," Nyong'o, who stunned in an orange gown paired with a gold H. Stern cuff and earrings, said, according to ABC News. "It's such an honor to be recognized for a film that has meant so much to so many people, a film that has inspired discourse long overdue."

Meanwhile, Oprah Winfrey honored the late Nelson Mandela with a touching tribute in which she said, "We can each reflect, I do believe, the greatness he inspired in all of us. I have to say sitting at his funeral and watching that casket go into the ground, I miss him dearly. I want you all to know that his life was an example to us all."
And the NAACP "Entertainer of the Year" award went to none other than Kevin Hart.
