The 13th annual African American Film Critics Association Awards honored Will Smith of King Richard and Jennifer Hudson of Respect. The winners will be honored in Los Angeles on March 2. The Harder They Fall mirrored King Richard's four victories, with Jeymes Samuel taking up best film, best ensemble, best music, and best director.

For his performance of Richard Williams in King Richard, Smith was named the AAFCA's best actor. Aunjanue Ellis (best supporting actress), Saniyya Sidney (breakout actor), and Reinaldo Marcus Green all received nominations for the film, which depicts the story of Venus and Serena Williams' father (emerging director).

“It’s been a fantastic year for film,” said AAFCA president and co-founder Gil Robertson. “Just having passed the two-year mark of a global pandemic, great entertainment means more to all of us than ever before. This year’s AAFCA winners not only entertained us but educated and inspired us and we’re looking forward to celebrating them at the AAFCA Awards.”
