With television shows ‘Scandal’ (ABC), ‘black-ish’ (ABC), and ‘Orange is the New Black’ (Netflix) leading the overall nods with 6 apiece and Beyonce and Pharrell dominating the music categories with 5 and 4 respectively, this year’s showing looks to be its most exciting yet.

“ABC’s ‘Scandal’ Lead 2015 NAACP Image Award Nominations”
For playing a white man’s w.h.o.r.e on primetime television for millions to watch…ok cool.
Degrading stuff.
at least she is doing something
beyonce get nominations, but does she even win anymore? lol.
Yeah, she actually does. So the unnecessary shade just sounds stupid.
I can say what ever i want don’t like it? than don’t read my sh!t. I meant dose she even win fairly you dumb fukkin fool.
*does
@EATITUP Queen bye !! You lil queens that was born in the 00’s kill me! bey doesn’t need another award to add to her collection of MANY AWARDS! stop it! GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE! ITS WACK TO BE THAT MUCH OF A HATER WITHOUT FACTS
Fukk you i ain’t gotta do sh!t and i wasn’t born in the 00’s dumb f.a.g you queening out in my post trying to come over here trying called yourself telling me off you ain’t saying sh!t you fruit flies kill me with the stanning ish go suck a d*** and out my post fukk face.
@Eatitup SOMEBODY AOUNDS A LITTLE MAD???!!! Lol get a job! Responding to all bets post within seconds of the post posting! Broke h** find u a9to5 instead of lining up at that warfare office! Talking bout a Billionaire! The GAME ISNT FAIR AND BEYONCE IS RUNNING THAT MUTHA WHETHER U LIKE IT OR NOT! DROPS MIC****
getting nominations is great but when there are two with 6 couldnt the title have just mentioned them? or is tgj afraid the post wont get any comments if bey’s name isnt attached to it?
Ummm I guess. I don’t watch these awards. Or the soul train. Or the BET or MTV. . Only awards show I tune in for are the oscars and Grammys. Oh and the Emmys. The NAACP has done a good job at recognizing people who may otherwise never see an award. So I guess that’s good. I’m trying to figure out how the NAACP is relevant to what’s going on in today’s society because my generation really doesn’t talk about them or see anything they do current except live off past glory days.
Cause you and your generation are idiots who worry about billboard.com more than real life issues.. DUH
That very organization is responsible for all the civil liberties you enjoy today. Knowing your history is a part of understanding who you are. All this Twitter activism has really hindered your generation. This is the “information age”… Google them!!!
Dead.. I’m waiting for the H.IV+ faggggs to come here and act as if this is something worth celebrating. I’ve never even heard of these NAACP awards. Flop awards for flops.
Because you live in a country where u can’t even leave your trash cans out in fear of honey badgers, hyenas, and porcupines. DUH honey of course you dunno what the NAACP is
Bish you TRIED it!!! Google johannesburg, then get back to me!
LMAO!!! Nicely said!
You’re pathetic. Beyonce has always won these awards so nothing new here. You just sound very ignorant.
How many awards has Nicki won?
Comparing Nicki (A RAPPER PREDOMINANTLY) to pop stars is just down right retarded. But i didn’t expect any more from you.
It’s somewhat sad that you don’t know considering the similarities between the civil rights movement and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. The NAACP played an important role in the civil rights movement as well as supported anti-apartheid efforts. But of course you wouldn’t know that, you’re to busy spewing hate. And yet you try to call @LB uneducated. **blank stare**
How’s Artshiit?
@umm you better let these FOOLS have it!!! Talking bout the NAACP AWARDS is very foolish childish and racist! U ignorant ass little kids need to grow up!
Great nominees and categories!
Why in the hell is this blog always on Beyoncé d***?! She wont even let yall interview her, as a matter of fact, have yall even met het?
Its a Beyonce world we’re living in….
Us real people have real lives to live, get one.
@TheFake, no its a beyonce world you’re living in. Soon when you’re over the age of 15 you’ll realise just how stupid you sound!
Because that stan for her Pat. If you don’t like it, go visit another blog. Simple as.
@LDN, what’s a stan? You sound so damn stupid! Is Beyoncé paying you?
All the lessor’s stans are looking so hard to shade this post…KingB still slaying, regardless of the s*** they tryna say…
Yal just need to be quiet, and appreciate some REAL success.
Congrats Beyonce. Shes also been named Apples best musican of 2014, Columbias top artist of 2014, most influential by CNN and most talked about Facebook. No denying her impact.
She’s paying coins for all of this, lmao!
Does she really need to? A lot of the awards she has won are R&B, urban, or “black” related. As a matter of fact, why would the woman with the highest female/African American TOUR and ALBUM of 2013 have to give up any coins?
I’ll wait for your response. All though most of the time they don’t obtain any logical reasoning…obviously
Exactly! She’s a living legend! The youngest might I add! All those other b**** ass people can bow the f*** down!!
Slayyyy king bey! Ciara or Rihanna and Mariah and Christina aguilera can never!!!!!
Lol That Lady Caca stan is delusional. Beyonce has a house full of awards. I wonder how many Caca have for Artshiit kii
She’s also nominated for “Entertainer ofvtge year” a total of 6 noms.
She is winning big time with all these acclaims n accolades. Legend.
She paid for those as well, lmfao!
Congrats to bey, BUT I just don’t understand is she will not attend a black award show that honors her, but goes to the awards that will gladly ignore her hits and nominate Taylor swift shake it off over drunk in love. Yeah soul train awards ain’t what they were when mj was performing and Whitney etc, but that’s partial bc these black musicians feel they are too good for these awards n they get no budget to produce the best show possible. For all these black artists that won’t win a Grammy or even be nominated over these white artist, don’t forget who was there to help launch and jump star your careers, who you turned your back on and they still nominate you.
