We’re starting the weekend right with Michael B. Jordan in a tux. The Sinners‘ star looked oh-so-dapper as he accepted the American Cinematheque Award at the 39th Annual American Cinematheque Awards fundraising gala. Sinners‘ co-star and EBONY Power 100 awardee Miles Caton, along with Ludwig Göransson and Raphael Saadiq, gave a special musical performance of “I Lied to You” at the event, held at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. The non-profit cultural arts organization is dedicated to building an engaged film community through immersive film curation, conversation and presentation.
Shaboozey at the CMAs
Best New Artist nominee Shaboozey got us dreaming of roaming in a field with his performance of “Took A Walk” with Stephen Wilson Jr. for the 59th Annual CMA Awards, held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The song plays during the end credits of the dystopian film, The Long Walk.
Denée Benton At The Gilded Age Screening
Denée Benton wore a dress I need in my closet right now for an FYC screening of the HBO Original series The Gilded Age, held at L’Alliance New York. A panel followed to discuss the high stakes of the past season (did Peggy say yes?), followed by a flowery after-party inside the Grand Ballroom at The Plaza Hotel.
Paul Tazewell at Wicked: For Good
It’s a second round of costume greatness. Hosted by Universal Pictures and The Cut, Paul Tazewell and guests enjoyed an exclusive New York City screening of Wicked: For Good at The Roxy, a night dedicated to honoring the Oscar-winning costume designer’s visionary talent and cultural impact. Spotted among the night’s fashionable crowd was EBONY’s social creator, Shariah Walters, whose presence underscored the event’s significance as a moment of creative recognition, cultural resonance and community.
