During his acceptance speech, Michael seemed to address last week’s racial incident at BAFTA in London, saying, “Man, I love being Black, I love y’all.”

BAFTA nominee John Davidson shouted the n-word at Michael and “Sinners” costar Delroy Lindo. The British Broadcasting Company (BBC), which aired the BAFTA awards, was heavily criticized for not editing out the racial slur. Meanwhile, Davidson claims the BBC did edit out a homophobic slur that he shouted at Alan Cumming, a Scottish actor who identifies as bisexual.

Delroy Lindo (left) also addressed the BAFTA incident, saying, “We appreciate all of the support and the love that we have been shown in the aftermath of what happened last weekend. It means a lot to us. It is an honor to be here amongst our people this evening. Amongst so many people who’ve shown us such incredible support. And it’s a classic case of something that could’ve been very negative becoming very positive…”

Sinners co-stars Miles Caton, Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy took home NAACP Image awards for Best Breakthrough Performance, Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor respectively. Sinners was named Best Picture and its cast earned the accolade for Best Ensemble in a Movie.

The film also won Image awards for writing, directing, stunt ensemble, cinematography, soundtrack, score and costume design.

Ryan Coogler accepted the Outstanding Motion Picture Award for Sinners. During his speech, Ryan said: “Since our people been here over four centuries, there’s always been a lot of lies told about us. And a lie, no matter how powerful the person saying it is, it’s still a lie. And the truth, no matter how little power the person has at saying the truth, it’s still the truth. And the truth is y’all are loved, y’all are beautiful, and y’all are powerful and mighty. And bless y’all. Thank y’all so much.”
