Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor enjoyed a surprise early birthday celebration at the 2025 American Black Film Festival (ABFF) Honors ceremony on Monday night — complete with a cake, sparkling candles and the well-heeled crowd singing her “Happy Birthday” (the Stevie Wonder version, of course).

Ellis-Taylor was among the special honorees at the awards show, feted not just for turning another year older, but for delivering another year full of dazzling performances, including in the best picture Oscar-nominated film “Nickel Boys.” Though the spotlight was on Elllis-Taylor, she seemed less interested in accepting her well-deserved flowers than in doling them out to her fellow honorees.

Keke Palmer, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Aaron Pierre, Marla Gibbs and Giancarlo Esposito were saluted at the 2025 ABFF Honors ceremony on Monday night.
