What are the NAACP Image Awards?
The NAACP Image Awards is the nation's premier event celebrating the outstanding achievements and performances of people of color in the arts (television, recording, literature, motion picture and writing & directing), as well as those individuals or groups who promote social justice through their creative endeavors.
Television
From nail-biting drama to belly-shaking comedy, we have several great TV categories and a number of outstanding nominees within each one.Television nominees >
Recording
Who will win the Award in this popular entertainment field? Each of the candidates deserves recognition and respect, but only one nominee in each category will be able to go home with this prestigious accolade.Recording nominees >
Literature
Rich in tradition and heritage, but still in constant renewal, literature is probably the oldest of our forms of artistic expression. That it remains a vibrant creative field of endeavor is seen in the wealth of talent found among this year's Award candidates.Literature nominees >
Motion Picture
With so much massive talent and so many great candidates to choose from, it's simply a shame that only one in each category can prevail.Motion Picture nominees >
Writing & Directing
Behind every great TV, theater or cinema experience is the vision created by the writer and director. Without their creative gusto and persistent dedication, the entertainment world would sure be a sadder place.Writing & Directing nominees >
