The fifty^th NAACP Image Awards, held on Saturday (Mar 30), was timed later on this year than past years as the organisers wanted the show to savor in its glory, reported Vareity.

"This year's show is a stand-alone milestone," said NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson. "We didn't find information technology necessary to take it take place within laurels flavor, equally it had been previously designed. Honouring fifty years should be something nosotros celebrate outside of the pressures of award flavor."

Its location at the Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars were held, was no coincidence either. "We wanted to host this year's Image Awards in a grander theatre, and information technology is at the Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars are held. This is the first time the Dolby has housed the Paradigm Awards. And it needs to have that type of prominence," said Johnson.

"But more importantly, we didn't desire it to conflict with any other activities that take place during award flavor. Nosotros wanted to make sure people had an opportunity to participate and savor this celebration of the Image Awards' fifty years of excellence within the entertainment industry."

The National Clan for the Advocacy of Colored People (NAACP) honours outstanding performances in moving-picture show, television, music, and literature, and like the Oscars and Grammys, is an annual outcome.

Anthony Anderson took centrestage as the host, which is his 6th consecutive year doing and then. Anderson himself is a four-time NAACP Image Award winner, two of which came from his role in the TV serial Black-ish.
