An award show that honors talent.
#DEATH @ the infinite delusion.
The only Black performance that deserved an Oscar nomination this year was Idris Elba, and as you can see here, he didn’t even win the NAACP actor award.
Michael B Jordan? What a hilarious joke. These people are clueless about cinema.
Image Awards =Snooze fest
I would rather just see the list of winners
The Image Awards always get it wrong. How Jussie Smollet walked away with 4 awards last night is beyond me. And Michael B Jordan, entertainer of the year? No!!!
Right? They must have watched a different Fantastic Four and a different Creed where he didn’t get overshadowed by a 70 year old with a frozen face.
Anthony Anderson was a great host tho. When he said “Will & Jada are here everybody. They better be after all this s*** they started!” I died laughing lol.
LOLLLLL these award shows are a complete joke and they wonder why no one supports them or shows up. Because it’s a damn popularity contest rather than actually awarding talent
Uzo Aduba didn’t win anything is beyond me…. Jussie Smollet 4 Awards ? really ?
Nice
No Idris Elba, no Uzo, Michael B Jordan winning, Tyrese Gibson’s whiny ass winning? How can anyone take these seriously?
I’d rather have the Oscars not nominate Black actors for two years and then reward a truly phenomenal performance that just so happens to be by a Black actor than have this popularity contest BS. At least the Oscar has prestige behind it.
Jazmine shoulda won from Outstand Traditional Song
The external speakers may not be the part of that university but
would definitely from any ace college or university.
Fortunately, there are lots of benefits to residing in the University of Minnesota Housing
Off Campus, ones that can favorably impact
your health, grades, and social experiences. Tutoring of
children who are in their elementary classes can be not only rewarding but
also a significant undertaking. He doesn’t seem to think that anything can be done to rescue the
humanities professors, who are meeting their Waterloo.
You can actually build collections of insects, leaves, rocks, seashells or other elements.
What globalization might bring can only be guessed at.
You will be working with a specialist who will delegate duties that you can tackle as they prepare
you to be a master electrician. Then there are the rest…those who just dont think
they will get caught or feel as if they paid their tuition and are entitled to pass.
