The Facebook Watch series hosted by Willow Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, won outstanding talk series.

In the last year, Red Table Talk has tackled a string of hot topics, including the college admissions scandal with actress Lori Loughlin’s daughter, Olivia Jade. Pinkett Smith also opened up about her romantic entanglement with singer-songwriter August Alsina, and the actress discussed her experiences with colorism.
