最佳电影提名For Colored Gilrs、Just Wright、The Book of Eli、Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too?，没搞懂怎么还出现了The Kids Are All Right。如果不出意外最后肯定被For Colored Gilrs拿走，Just Wright和The Book of Eli基本没有什么筹码，虽然也挺好看的。除了这个最佳影片，Tyler Perry还有电视剧入围，这样算来他的作品今年的提名已经有十多项了（具体没计算）。最有意思的是最佳女配角，全数属于Tyler Perry电影中的角色，四位For Colored Gilrs，一位Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too?，如此的集中恐怕也只有在去年这种“电影淡季”才能出现。

最佳男配角中除了Idris Elba、Don Cheadle等人，还给了Justin Timberlake一个提名，这样The Social Network也进入了颁奖范围。NAACP Image Awards给白人演员或者电影提名倒也不是新鲜事，但像今年这样饥不择食尴尬的提名情况还是很少见的。

NAACP Image Awards分五个大的奖项分类，电视、唱片、文学、电影，以及被单独分出来的编剧导演类。唱片部分和格莱美、全美音乐之类的奖项就差不多了，因为黑人音乐在全球都算是主流音乐了，Bruno Mars、Nicki Minaj、Cee Lo Green、Rihanna、Kanye West和Jay-Z等人都出现在这个名单中，最后谁得奖似乎倒也不太重要了，不过每年大牌明星的表演倒是值得一看。

文学奖部分，是个了解一年来黑人文学作品的好地方，国内能接触到的书籍实在太少了。简单说几个吧，NAACP自家人Jabari Asim写的第一部小说A Taste of Honey，小说Waiting to Exhale的续集作品Getting to Happy等作品入选最佳小说奖。Jay-Z自传Decoded，曼德拉自传Conversations with Myself，赖斯自传Extraordinary, Ordinary People，Ray的儿子写的You Don’t Know Me: Reflections of My Father, Ray Charles入选最佳传记。

以有色人种为颁奖对象的NAACP Image Awards，在这几年的发展过程中逐渐的形成了影响力，这与近10年间黑人明星在娱乐圈的努力是分不开的。只要看看当前的各大歌曲排行榜和热门电影榜单中黑人明星的比重就知道了，这个比重已经远远超过美国人口中非洲裔人口的比重。

来看看今年的提名吧。这个颁奖礼涵盖的范围很广，音乐、电影、电视和文学涵盖了社会娱乐生活的方方面面。大部分电影及电视作品我们都能在国内看到，一些文学及电视表演，迷你剧集相对缺乏接触渠道。

为庆祝NAACP（National Association for the Advancement of Colored People[美国有色人种协进会]）成立100周年和黑人历史月（Black History Month），21世纪福克斯公司与米高梅公司联合推出黑人历史月系列DVD。

这一系列包括历史纪录片、喜剧、传记片、动作片、电视短剧等众多类型作品，全套音像制品共77种。其中还包括《Antoine Fisher》与《I, Robot》两张蓝光光碟。

在看过出版目录后，略有失望，尽管其中大部分都是优秀作品，但由于仅有两家电影公司参与，电影选择的局限就显露出来了。像《Like Mike 2: Streetball》、《Phat Girlz》、《Nora’s Hair Salon 2》并不能称之为出色的作品也收录其中。

不知道国内会不会有人来做这套作品，其中有很多电影是国内市面罕见的。比如《Constellation》、《Soul Food》、《Waiting to Exhale》和《The Jackie Robinson Story》都是我期望能够看到的作品。

另外，NAACP组织成立于1909年2月12日，百年口号是BOLD DREAMS, BIG VICTORIES（无畏的梦想，重大的胜利）。在7月11-16日期间纽约应该会有一次百年庆典，这个到时候可以关注一下。
