Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi and Reginald Hudlin were among the winners at the final night of virtual NAACP Image Awards, which honored podcasts, writing and directing. Mescudi took home outstanding writing in a TV movie or special, alongside Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams, for “Entergalactic.” 

Hudlin’s work on “Sidney” earned him the Image Award for outstanding directing in a documentary. The award marked the first NAACP Image win for both Mescudi and Hudlin, though it was Hudlin’s fifth nomination.

Other winners included the podcast “Beyond the Scenes – The Daily Show” and Angela Barnes for her directing in “Atlanta.”
