The 45th Annual NAACP Image Awards went off without a hitch earlier this evening (February 22) with "12 Years a Slave" continuing to make waves snagging the biggest prize of the night.
Before her film won Outstanding Motion Picture, the gorgeous Lupita Nyong'o added another piece of hardware to her already impressive collection taking home a trophy for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture, while Kerry Washington snagged up her second Image Award with a win for Best Actress in a Dramatic Series. Kerry's show "Scandal" also won Outstanding Drama Series.
In addition, the hilarious Kevin Hart took home Entertainer of the Year, while Oprah Winfrey paid tribute to the late Nelson Mandela with a touching speech and musical dedication.
"He was everything we have all have heard and more. He was humble and he was unscathed by any kind of bitterness after all that we know he's been through," Winfrey said.

Sleepy Hollow Episode 109
“Sanctuary”
Written By: Damian Kindler & Chitra Elizabeth Sampath
Directed By: Liz Friedlander
Original Airdate: 25 November 2013
In This Episode...
Abbie and Ichabod are asked to investigate the disappearance of Lena Gilbert, a billionaire philanthropist who was last seen at a colonial home in Sleepy Hollow. A note on Lena’s desk, scrawled with a number of names - including “Katrina C.” - is the reason the captain passed the case off to them.
Lena fought to buy this home, which once belonged to Lachlan Fredericks, an ancestor of hers (and, of course, someone who Ichabod was very friendly with). The property has a mysterious history: one day, everyone just vanished. Lachlan was also rumored to dabble in witchcraft. (You see where this is going.) Of course, when she walked into the house for the first time and began to explore, tree roots in a closet came to life and wrapped around her.

Sleepy Hollow Season 1, Episode 9 “Sanctuary”
Written by Damian Kindler and Chitra Elizabeth Sampath
Directed by Liz Friedlander
Airs Monday nights at 9pm Et on Fox
Just in time for Thanksgiving, Sleepy Hollow decides to indulge in the haunted house horror genre. However, “Sanctuary” fails to be scary in any way because of shoddy camera work from director Liz Friedlander and an overall lack of atmosphere. The monster of the week is a mix between the tree rapist in Evil Dead and Treebeard from Lord of the Rings. He/she/it is just another generic monster that is somehow connected to Ichabod (Tom Mison), Abbie (Nicole Beharie), and the end of the world.But even though “Sanctuary” suffers from a lack of menace, there are some strong scenes that show how Ichabod, Abbie, Frank (Orlando Jones), and Jenny (Lyndie Greenwood) desire a normal life and are all estranged from their families in different ways.
