NAACP Image Awards Are Tonight

Good Morning Family,
(Contact Information At Bottom Of Page)

Tonight will be the 39th celebration of the NAACP Image Awards (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT on FOX networks). The Image Awards honors projects and individuals that promote diversity in the arts in television, recording, literature and motion pictures. With a full week of activities the NAACP has been encouraging everyone to be socially conscious and take a stand on critical human and civil rights issues...hence the theme, “Stand Up and Be Counted.”

On Monday I attended a lively and spirited NAACP symposium, "Artists & Activism." As part of the Image Awards week, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, hosted a power-packed panel of actors, industry executives, scholars and historians to discuss the cultural impact of celebrity and entertainment, on the image of Blacks in the World. The panel included Debra Lee, Chairman & CEO of BET, Hill Harper of CSI, Judge Greg Mathis, and Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Ed Gordon the moderator had his hands full trying maintain congeniality, as Hill Harper and Judge Mathis expounded on their views of social responsibility vs. monetary gain.

This year, over 1,200 entries were received. From those entries, a special committee of 300 industry professionals and NAACP leaders from across the country selected five nominees in each of 44 categories. Any artist, manager, publicist, production company, record label, studio, network or publishing house could submit an entry to the NAACP Image Awards. The final selections are voted on by NAACP members, and winners will be announced during the live airing of the 39th NAACP Image Awards.
