The NAACP drew many of Hollywood's biggest names in the entertainment community. This year's events marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the NAACP and also acknowledged the significance of last month's inauguration of President Barack Obama. "If there had been no N-A-A-C-P, there would be no O-B-A-M-A," Tyler Perry told the crowd at the beginning of the evening. Beyonce's performance, which opened the telecast, included photographs of key people in the civil rights movement as well as Obama.The drama going into the ceremony involved nominees Chris Brown and Rihanna. Brown is accused in a domestic violent incident that allegedly involves Rihanna. Neither attended the Grammy Awards, as they were scheduled to do Sunday, and neither attended the Image Awards. Rihanna lost in the category of outstanding female artist to Beyonce; Brown, a winner last year, lost to Jamie Foxx in the outstanding male artist category. The biggest awards went to Diddy, Taraji P. Henson, Jennifer Hudson, Will Smith, Rosario Dawson, Will.i.am., Beyonce, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Slumdog Millionaire and the cast of The Secret Life of Bees.

I missed them! I totally forgot about them. Geez, I'm glad you did this post or else I would of forgotten all about it. How was Beyonce's performance?
ReplyDeleteI thought that video of the year should of gone to beyonce.
ReplyDeleteEveryones performances were a little lame IMO. Jennifer Hudson was boring, Beyonce tried to hard, William was weird and Stevie just lost it.
ReplyDeleteI liked Beyonces performance. Very airey.
ReplyDeleteBTW why wasn't alicia keys there again? Where is she?
ReplyDeleteDidn't see them. Don't care for award shows anymore. They are always publicity stunts.
ReplyDeleteDang, I wonder if Chris Brown & Rihanna are not winning b/c of the incident....???
