The action-adventure World War II film “Red Tails” won the prize for best motion picture at the NAACP’s Image Awards.

The high-flying feature, produced by George Lucas and Art Center Trustee Charles Floyd Johnson, was inspired by the heroics of America’s first all African-American aerial unit.

“Look, I beat Quentin Tarantino,” joked the Star Wars creator upon accepting the award (Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” was also up for the honor).

Lucas choked up while thanking the Tuskeegee Airmen, whose story is chronicled in the film.

The 44th NAACP Image Awards, hosted by talk show host Steve Harvey, were held Friday at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Denzel Washington took home the trophy for best actor in a motion picture for “Flight,” Viola Davis won best actress in a motion picture for “Won’t Back Down,” and Jamie Foxx received the entertainer of the year award.

Kerry Washington won a trio of trophies: best actress in a drama series for her starring role in ABC’s “Scandal,” best supporting actress in a motion picture for “Django Unchained” and the President’s Award for off-screen service on behalf of President Obama.
