The Denzel Washington-directed The Great Debaters came out on top in Tuesday's 39th Annual NAACAP Image Award nominations with eight nods, including outstanding actor and director for Washington, and supporting actor nominations for Forest Whitaker and Nate Parker. American Gangster, I Am Legend, Talk to Me, and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? rounded off the outstanding motion picture category. In the TV comedy categories, Ugly Betty and Everybody Hates Chris both scored multiple nominations, including outstanding comedy. TV drama nominations were fairly spread out, with Grey's Anatomy, The Unit, Lincoln Heights, and K-Ville each earning multiple nods. For music, the outstanding male artist nominations went to Chris Brown, Common, Kanye West, Prince, and Seal, while the outstanding female artist nods went to Alicia Keys, Aretha Franklin, Beyonce, Jill Scott, and Mary J. Blige. The NAACP Image Awards honor projects and individuals that promote diversity in the arts in television, recording, literature, and motion pictures. Fox is set to air the live awards presentation on Feb. 14.

Hope he wins, but Kanye prob will eh. Prince should def win over Seal!

Congrats 2 P on his nomination. I hope he wins, but since it is the NAACP awards, its a good chance that Kanye or Chris Brown will walk away with the honors. Besides, their albums have out performed P's and the "Kanye vs. 50 Cent" promo was genius.

As for the female artist, I think Mary or Beyonce will win. I can't stand Jill Scott and I don't like Alicia's new cd at all.

come on seal!!!

May the best album win , hopefully its Prince though , hes done some good live sets at NAACP awards over the years .

My question is.. will this award show even be on?????
Did any one catch the "Peoples Choice" Award last night?
LAME ~~~
I was about ready to Be head the "Queen" she is SOO
annoying!!!!!

It WOULD be cool if Prince DID perform IF they have the
Awards tho. I love to see him live.

Chris Brown, Kanye and Common's albums are all better than Planet Earth. The only saving grace for Prince was that Urban AC stations played the hell out of FBM.

Th NAACP is not involved nor owned by anyone who is involved with the writers strike and should televise as planned...in fact, if the strike isn't over by feb 14th you might see a huge increase in big name attendees..


and its great to see angelina jolie included with the nominees.

btw: what the hell is up with the film acting and supporting acting categories...jill scott and taraji as leads?

I Am Legend?

gotta be kidding

that was a load of crap

when is Will Smith going to act again?

sosgemini said:

Jill Scott's character was the lead in the play, so naturally...
I think this year's award show will definitely be better than last year.
And, i DO hope that PRINCE will win!

Congrats and may the best 5 foot something man win.

Didn't he win for 3121?
I want tn see Kanye, Prince, or Common win.
Chris Brown is fun...but he needs to get of MJs back and get his own identity. I actually think Chris' dancing is WAY better than his music.
I havent heard Seal.

Prince himself hasn't done many albums better than Planet Earf...

Seal makes wonderful music! You should definitely hear some of it. But i want our man to win! Hope he performs - would be a great way to bring in 2008!

Prince deserves nothing but money. It is all that he wants.

planetChar said:

Haven't heard from Seal?

Go to imeem.com and type in Seal! Sit back and enjoy!

My bad. I've heard of him and I have heard some of his music. I meant that i haven't heard his most recent music. haha...

According to EURWeb Stevie Wonder will be honored on the show, so maybe that is incentive for Prince to show up. I never get tired of seeing those two perform together. Also, Prince has had a good history with the NAACP Image Awards, so it would be nice to see him there.

BTW, I LOVE Planet Earth. I think it was an excellent album. I've been listening to it for the past couple of weeks and I never get tired of it, especially the first eight songs.

ToraToraDreams said:

he only ever had a couple of hits in the uk & tht was way back in the 90's.

Congratulations to Prince, I hope the NAACP takes this opportunity to do the right thing...those other guys are good, but they're not outstanding.

bellanoche said:

in view of this, there's a v good chance prince will attend! & i 2 think planet e is fab

Congrats to Prince i hope he wins this one again this year... i would to see Prince on tv again

It be nice if Prince does win. Planet Earth was a great cd, but crappy music seem 2 outshine good music these days.So Chris or Kanye might get this one.

I wanna see him perform with Stevie, that would be awesome. They go well together.
I wanna see Aretha perform too, I hope she can make it. My mom told me she doesn't like to fly.
