Sunday, March 6, 2011 at 11:39AM Justin Timberlake Did Not Win At the NAACP Awards

Or did he? Actually, being a white guy nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture at the NAACP Awards is a huge honor. Plus, there's no way he could've beaten Samuel L. Jackson, whose a baaad mutha-shut-yo-mouth!
Tyler Perry usually dominates these award shows and once again he did not disappoint earning 19 nominations. They should really call this Tyler Perry Presents NAACP Image Awards. He won Best Director for For Colored Girls, and also the Best Picture award for the same film. Perry also took home Outstanding Comedy Series for Tyler Perry's House of Payne edging out Glee and 30 Rock. Lack of black representation probably hurt their chances.
Denzel Washington won Best Actor while Halle Berry won Best Actress.
