Considering just how enormously popular Bridgerton has proven with viewers, it seems baffling that the Netflix series has yet to win any acting accolades this awards season.

Until now, that is!

That’s right; Regé-Jean Page – aka the talented actor who has been rocketed to heartthrob status thanks to his portrayal as the Duke of Hastings – took home the prize for outstanding actor in a drama series at this year’s NAACP Image Awards.

And he beat the likes of Sterling K. Brown of This Is Us, Jonathan Majors of Lovecraft Country, Keith David of Greenleaf, and Nicco Annan of P-Valley to the honour, too.
