DuVernay lauded other black artists from the stage as she accepted her award Monday night, naming writers and directors such as Shonda Rhimes, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Kenya Barris and "Black Panther" Ryan Coogler.
"This is our time," DuVernay said. "We can say we were here when all this gorgeous art was happening, and that we supported it -- that we lifted each other up, that we did as Dr. King said we would do: Live the dream. We're the dream."
"Power" was named best drama series, and star Omari Hardwick won for dramatic actor.
Other winners included "Gifted" actress Octavia Spencer and "Empire" star Taraji P. Henson, who were both absent, and Daniel Kaluuya, who won for his leading role in "Get Out."
The British actor was clearly delighted at his victory.
"I don't think you're allowed to beat Denzel Washington in acting competitions," said Kaluuya, who bested Washington for the prize. The 28-year-old actor thanked his mom and "Get Out" writer-director Jordan Peele.
"So many people didn't believe in me, and you did, and you made all of us feel included," Kaluuya said. "Thank you so much for letting us be seen."
