Winston Duke Proudly Waves His T&T Flag at NAACP Awards.

Winston Duke made many Trinbagonians proud when he waved the Trinidad and Tobago flag on stage at the 2019 NAACP Image Awards, this past Saturday.

The Tobago-born actor was nominated in two categories: Outstanding Breakthrough Role in a Motion Picture, and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture.

However, his co-star and Guyanese-born British actress Letitia Wright was the winner in the Outstanding Breakthrough Role in a Motion Picture category, while his other co-star, Michael B Jordan, was the winner in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion picture category.

Duke waved his flag when he and his Black Panther co-stars were on stage as Black Panther won the Outstanding Motion Picture category.

His appearance in the movie last year as M’Baku, gained him widespread international acclaim. Prior to that, he appeared on television shows such as Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and Modern Family.

Duke is presently starring in the movie “US” alongside Lupita Nyong’o and will also reprise his role as M’Baku in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame.
