The 56th NAACP Image Awards just wrapped up, and while many fan favorites took home awards as expected, some winners came as a surprise to viewers - one such name being Martin Lawrence, who won Best Actor.

The 59-year-old took home the award for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for his performance in Bad Boys: Ride or Die. While fans had no objections to him or his talents, they questioned why a movie that wasn’t well received by audiences was nominated in the first place instead of so many others and were seen taking to social media to share their opinions.

Hilarious Fan Reactions

Many fans were seen poking fun at the Best Actor award result at the NAACP Image Awards. Let’s check out some of their funniest reactions.

"I'm happy for him but what!" a fan exclaimed.

This fan isn't alone, as many others are also surprised at how anything related to Bad Boys: Ride or Die was even nominated while still appreciating Martin Lawrence's talent and celebrating his win.

"Im curious now, who were the other nominees?" another questioned.

Looks like this user has something to show all the people who disagreed with Martin Lawrence winning the award for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture. Now, watch this clip from Bad Boys: Ride or Die and tell him you still disagree!

"Soooo did no one else act last year," commented a user.

According to this user, if Martin Lawrence got nominated and won for Bad Boys 4, did no one else act last year? If that's the case, we already know who's about to take home the Academy Award for Best Actor next week!

"Despite his win, Lawrence was not in attendance at the ceremony😅," pointed out another.

As this user points out, Martin Lawrence didn’t attend the awards ceremony even though he won. Does that mean even he didn’t agree with the decision?

The Best Actor result really seems to have cracked up many users. Looks like it didn’t add to the "image" in the NAACP Image Awards!

Martin Lawrence's NAACP Image Award win may have raised some eyebrows, but it certainly won’t stop the comedy legend from delivering more memorable performances. Keep on killing it, Martin!
