Die NAACP hat die vollständige Liste der Nominierten für die „57. NAACP Image Awards“ bekannt gegeben. Cynthia Erivo, Doechii, Kendrick Lamar, Michael B. Jordan und Teyana Taylor sind für den Entertainer of the Year nominiert.
Ausgewählte Kategorien werden während der zweistündigen LIVE-TV-Sendung enthüllt, die am Samstag, den 28. Februar 2026, um 20 Uhr ET/20 Uhr PT aus dem Pasadena Civic Auditorium auf BET ausgestrahlt wird und gleichzeitig auf dem CBS Television Network übertragen wird. Das diesjährige Thema lautet „We See You“.
Cynthia Erivo erhielt vier Nominierungen, darunter Entertainer of the Year und Anerkennung für ihre Rolle in Wicked: For Good. Der Film wurde auch für herausragenden Spielfilm, herausragendes Ensemble-Casting und herausragendes Soundtrack-Album nominiert, unter anderem. Weitere bemerkenswerte Nominierungen umfassen NBCs Wicked: One Wonderful Night, Audra McDonald für The Gilded Age, Patina Miller für Power Book III: Raising Kanan und mehr.
In diesem Jahr führt die NAACP zwei neue Kategorien ein: Hervorragendes literarisches Werk – Journalismus, das Exzellenz in landesweit verbreitetem Journalismus anerkennt, der informiert, erhebt und authentisch über Erfahrungen, Probleme oder Perspektiven reflektiert, die die schwarze Gemeinschaft oder die nationalen Angelegenheiten der USA durch ein Prisma der Rassengleichheit, sozialen Gerechtigkeit oder des Gemeinschaftseinflusses erheblich betreffen; und herausragendes Bearbeiten in einem Spielfilm oder einer Fernsehsendung, einem Film oder einer Spezialausgabe, das Exzellenz in der Nachbearbeitung ehrt, die das Geschichtenerzählen verbessert, den Handlungsfluss stärkt und den emotionalen Einfluss verstärkt.
Die Nominierungen wurden live auf CBS Mornings vom Gastgeber der „57. NAACP Image Awards“ Deon Cole und NAACP-Präsident und CEO Derrick Johnson sowie auf YouTube/NAACPPlus von Gail Bean und Marcel Spears angekündigt.
Durch den Besuch von www.naacpimageawards.net kann die Öffentlichkeit abstimmen, um die Gewinner der „57. NAACP Image Awards“ in ausgewählten Kategorien zu bestimmen. Die Abstimmung endet am 7. Februar 2026 um 12:00 Mitternacht (ET). Die NAACP wird auch Gewinner in nicht im Fernsehen übertragenen Image Awards-Kategorien bei den „57. NAACP Image Awards“ Creative Honors am Donnerstag, den 26. Februar ehren und virtuell auf YouTube/NAACPPlus von Montag, den 23. Februar bis Mittwoch, den 25. Februar.
