NAACP Image Awards Nominations Have Been Announced

The nominations for the 2024 NAACP Image Awards have been announced.

On Thursday, the lineup of nominees for the 55th annual awards show was revealed, with some famous faces receiving multiple nominations.

Among those who got nominated multiple times are Victoria Monet, Usher, Colman Domingo, Ayo Edebiri, and Keke Palmer.

In addition to being nominated for his first Oscar this year, Domingo also scored three NAACP Image Awards nominations, including Entertainer Of The Year. In that category, he’ll go up against Fantasia Barino and Halle Bailey, Keke Palmer, and Usher.

The NAACP Image Awards also gave a lot of love to The Color Purple, which has been snubbed by many other awards shows this season. The film was nominated 16 times, including for Outstanding Motion Picture.

Abbot Elementary also had a downpour of nominations, with nine. Ayo Edebiri was nominated for her guest starring role on the show, along with her supporting role in The Bear.

Every year, the NAACP Image Awards honors Black creators in music, books, podcasts, film, and television, all of which are voted on by the public.

The winners will be honored and given their awards in a ceremony on March 16, which will air on BET and CBS.
