The 53rd annual NAACP Image Awards are on the way and a streaming service is once again topping the nominations.
This year’s celebration is once again honoring the accomplishments of people of color across more than 80 competitive categories spanning film, television, streaming, music, literature, and podcasts.
Airing on Saturday, February 26th, 2022 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on BET, they will be hosted by seven-time NAACP Image Awards Winner Anthony Anderson.
A press release notes that the 53rd annual NAACP Image Awards will still be a “powerful night in Black excellence” but will take place without an in-person audience “due to the ever-changing developments with COVID-19 and variants.”

Included in those 52 nominations are The Harder They Fall’s including Outstanding Motion Picture and Jonathan Majors’ nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for the film.
