Meagan Good took home the Spirit Award on Jun. 5 at the sixth annual Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards, a Hollywood night built around honoring people the organization says continue to inspire in the industry. The ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton hotel, and Good arrived with Jonathan Majors right by her side.
The recognition put Good at the center of an event that also saluted Tyler Perry, Patti LaBelle, Kirk Franklin, RZA and Kehlani, while Chlöe Bailey performed for the room. Good did not attend alone, either: her sister Lamiya and brother-in-law Eric Bellinger were on hand to cheer her on.
Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee gave Perry the evening's coveted Innovator Award, and the lineup of honorees showed how broadly the event reached across film, music and culture. That made Good's Spirit Award part of a larger celebration, not a standalone moment, even if the night did not spell out the specific work or milestone that earned her the honor.
The award show's mix of celebration and unfinished details fit the way Hollywood Unlocked uses the Impact Awards: to spotlight figures it says keep pushing the culture forward while leaving some of the individual honors open to interpretation. For Good, the takeaway was simple enough on stage and in the room — she was recognized, she was surrounded by family, and the crowd treated the moment like one worth remembering.
