It’s so exciting to watch award shows and root for your favorite celeb and influencer nominees for awards show. Its amazing that the NAACP Images Awards have been around for half a century as we witnessed the 2019 50th Image Awards! So many amazing moments and I would love to recap some of my favorites of the night!
The NAACP Fashion
I love award shows, but I have to say the NAACP Awards is one of the classiest when it comes to honoring black people and boy did everyone show out. From the adults to the kids, everyone shine this night. These are a few of my favorite looks!
The Many Black Panther Wins

“Black Panther” was awarded best motion picture. The Marvel blockbuster hit beat out “BlacKkKlansman,” ″Crazy Rich Asians,” ″If Beale Street Could Talk” and “The Hate U Give.”
The superhero film was a cultural phenomenon, earning $700 million domestically during its theatrical run.
“Black Panther” won in several other categories, including best actor in a motion picture (Boseman), supporting actor (Michael B. Jordan) and directing (Coogler).

Beyonce Wins Entertainer of the Year at NAACP Awards
After Beyonce accepted the award Saturday night, the superstar paid homage to the people who were nominated in the same category as her. She beat out Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, Regina King, Chadwick Boseman and director Ryan Coogler.
“Regina King, I love you so much. You taught us patience, persistence and how to be masterful in your craft,” she said. “Chadwick Boseman is teaching children to dream and to be seen as kings. LeBron James has taught us the strength of all forms, leading by example and providing education to our kids. Ryan Coogler tells our stories in a way that celebrates our history and proves we do have power.”
Beyonce added: “I’m honored to be included among all of you, and to be a part of a vital and thriving community. Thank you to the NAACP.”

I love all of this. Regina King is phenomenal and I’m so proud of the Black Panther party. It’s such a great awards ceremony to hold. I’m glad you spoke on the positives and not the the controversies.
Everyone looked so incredible at the awards! I absolutely am in LOVE with Beyoncé’s gorgeous outfit. The hat was such a nice additional touch to bring the whole ensemble together.
Does Beyonce ever age? She still looks fantastic and lovely. Awards are so great. Everyone deserves some recognition for their hard work and even though it seems like those who act or sing or do any of those celebrity jobs just play, they’re still working very hard to do what they do.
I love the NAACP Image awards because they celebrate all the people I love. I see people win for the shows that I watch, the movies I see in theaters and for the work they do in OUR communities.
I love watching awards show. Besides wanting to know who the wonners are, Seeing all the outfits when they walk in on the red carpet is never to be missed.
I thought this was one of the better NAACP awards that I have seen in a while. It seems like there were more celebrities there than usually. Probably because Black content is booming right now.
