List Of Winners For The 50th Annual NAACP Image Awards
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) -- No, Jussie Smollett did not show up nor did he win at the 50th Annual NAACP Image Awards but whether he was in the room, or not, he was still on a lot of people's minds.
Comedian Chris Rock, says Variety, was told to not make any Smollett jokes. Rock ignored that suggestion and landed a few punches.
"They said no Jussie Smollett jokes. I know. What a waste of white skin. You know what I could do with that light skin? That curly hair? My career would be out of here. F—ing running Hollywood," Variety quoted Rock as saying.
He added one more: "What the hell was he thinking?" Rock asked. "From now on, you're Jessie from now on. You don't even get the 'U' no more. That 'U' was respect. You don't get no respect from me."
The two-day awards ceremony were held yesterday at the Beverly Hilton (non-televised awards) and Saturday evening at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
TV One broadcast Saturday's awards. The show was hosted by Anthony Anderson, star of "Black-ish."
Anderson won the award for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters (aka Aunt Maxine), was presented with the NAACP's Chairman's Award. Radio personality Tom Joyner was given the Vanguard Award, Ne-Yo was given the inaugural Black & Positively Golden Music Award and Jay-Z was given the prestigious President's Award.
