Just because the #OscarsSoWhite doesn’t mean the entertainment industry isn’t diverse. At the NAACP Image Awards on Friday night, it was clear that in movies and television, from Creed and Straight Outta Compton to Empire and Scandal, people of color hold some of the most interesting and engaging roles in Hollywood.

While Jada Pinkett Smith recently spoke out that she wouldn’t be attending the Academy Awards due to the lack of diversity in the nominees, she made a point not to miss the NAACP Image Awards. Waring a teal strapless gown with a leaf-like motif, she walked the red carpet with her husband, Will Smith, in a coordinating green tuxedo with stripes, who was nominated for his role in Concussion for outstanding actor in a motion picture trophy alongside Abraham Attah, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael B. Jordan, and Michael Ealy.
