Did Taraji P. Henson win an Oscar at the 2017 Academy Awards? No, but the Empire star still had a terrific night. Hidden Figures was nominated for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. Moonlight won Best Picture along with Best Adapted Screenplay. Mahershala Ali won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Juan in the film.
Taraji P. Henson reminded us that the secret to happiness is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of every day. Jimmy Kimmel sent candy from the sky and one of the packets fell right in Henson’s lap. The 46-year-old proved that age ain’t nothing but a number, transforming into a kid in a candy store.
