Academy Award winner Halle Berry and writer/actor Tyler Perry are hosting the 40th NAACP Image Awards tonight at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A., and "Extra" has raw footagee from the event.

The NAACP Image Awards celebrates the outstanding achievements and performances of people of color in film, TV, music and literature. The awards also honor individuals or groups who promote social justice through their creative endeavors.

Tune in to our Extra Raw Channel to see the red carpet arrivals!

It was a beautiful show. The NAACP Image awards is about all people of color. If you had watched the program you would have known that an Image award was given out to a White Man, an Asian Man. People all this bickering about color is keeping racism alive. We are bigger than that. There are more important things going on in our country now, for example our state of economy. Anyway, just look at Halle Berry, she is of mixed heritage even though she is referred to as Black. Did Halle not look too gorgeous? She lit up the screen. Although I do miss her short locks.

It’s sad that Extra posted Jennifer Hudson’s picture with a trophy, but failed to list her as a winner. Instead they incorrectly listed Jordin Sparks. Also, they listed Alicia Keys as a winner, when in fact, Beyonce won. That’s how much attention was truly paid by EXTRA. Hmmmm

hey 4dc, you stated, “can we do a similar award show for us “white folks?” ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————NO show for white folks, they would call that “racism” and the NAACP would raise cane.

If there weren’t award shows like the NAACP Image Awards, then no one would even know that movies for, by and about people of color even existed. Oh, and by the way, there were just as many “white folks” on that stage as there were “other races”. Try watching it. Your white friends won’t laugh at you.

That was just stupid. Nothing is for only one race. The sooner people understand that, the sooner this world will prosper as it could have and should have hundreds of years ago. Grow up.
