The Award Show of all Award Shows, in the eyes of many Actors/Actresses, of color, sharing their gift. The NAACP Awards is for anyone who has ever felt snubbed by The Academy Awards or The Grammys. This year host Anthony Anderson not only took home an Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series, he woned the stage with his performance, proving he could hang with those Husbands Of Hollywood. While he confirmed that he is the man and also that people of color will be recognized, he did forget to include his comedic edge, even during his performance. He truly gave it to us. Take a look at a performance that will remind you of the Morris Day type of Prince rivalry that happened during the Purple Rain Movie.

The competition was thick but she pulled it off, claiming the number one spot. Henson dazzled in red, wearing a braid to compliment her strapless gown.

There are almost no words to express how much Image Award Honoree Spike Lee has changed the way we see ourselves and our roles in society, as people of color. His creativity has addressed real issues that are often hard to talk about and even harder to live/survive. No matter what side we are on, he creates a political platform for conversations that must be had, if we are to move forward and ensure our history is never forgotten. He is to Hollywood what Rapper Common is to Hip-Hop. Spike Lee was honored with The Presidents Award.

Viola Davis was not there to accept her Award for Outstanding Actor In a Drama Series and When How To Get Away With Murder won at least one of her peers wished she was present to accept the award and speak on behalf of the group.  Viola Davis is very memorable no matter what role she plays and she has recently started expressing herself more and more using hairstyles, as her canvas. As we look on, her career continues to take on new meaning and the roles keep coming.
