Earlier today the NAACP Image Awards nominations were announced and
Precious
racked up eight nominations.
Lee Daniels
,
Mariah Carey
,
Gabourey Sidibe
,
Lenny Kravitz
and
Mo'Nique
were all honored. Other nominees include
Jamie Foxx
for
Law Abiding Citizen
,
Zoe Saldana
for
Avatar
and
Sandra Bullock
for
The Blind Side
. I'm a lil' surprised
Nicole Beharie didn't receive a nod for outstanding actress in American Violet
, but Sandra Bullock did. Also,
The Blind Side
received a nod for outstanding film
and
American Violet
was shunned in that category too.
