NAACP Image Awards 2013



I absolutely loved the NAACP Image Awards this year. I try to watch every award shows because for some reason I hate to miss them. I felt like so many of the people who took the stage to give thanks for their award were extremely humble and classy. So many people looked fantastic and their was so much positivity flowing through the show.


I loved the tribute to Harry Belafonte. He received Spingarn Award honoring outstanding achievement by an African American. In his speech he urged African American's to get involved in Gun Control.  It was nice to see him and Sidney Poitier on stage together since they are both brilliant.

Kerry Washington won several awards for the night. In addition to her awards for her role in Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained and the television show Scandal that she stars in, Kerry Washington was also received the NAACP President’s Award, which recognized her special achievements and exceptional public service.

Jamie Foxx won Entertainer of the Year which was awesome. They played clips of all of his work and roles and he gave a touching speech. Overall this was a really great award show.
