Much to the dismay of cultural commentators, not one actor or actress of color garnered a nomination in any of the 20 slots available in the 4 main acting categories.

Similar to FOX’s ‘Empire’ after it, Tyler Perry‘s ‘The Haves & the Have Nots’ has experienced an unprecedented and continuous ride upward since its debut on the Oprah Winfrey’s OWN. And, if the response to last night’s season premiere is any indication, that ride will not be slowing any time soon.
