After many thought Lupita Nyongo'o and Jordan Peele were snubbed from Oscar nominations this year for their work onUs, the duo ended up winning big at the NAACP Image Awards. By the time the annual gala was over Saturday night, Peele had won Outstanding Writing In A Motion Picture while Nyong'o won Outstanding Actress In A Motion Picture.

Peele bested Chinonye Chukwu (Clemency), Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Lanham (Just Mercy), Doug Atchison (Brian Banks), and Kasi Lemmons, Gregory Allen Howard (Harriet). Nyong'o, on the other hand, won her award over Alfrew Woodard (Clemency), Cynthia Erivo (Harriet), Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim), and Naomie Harris (Black and Blue).
