Some of this years list of honorees:
Issa Rae’s witty, unconventional style of dry humor, and we can forget the mirror freestyles. Landed her show, Insecure -HBO, Best Comedy.
Kenya Barris, receiving the TV Icon Award, for Black-ish- ABC & #blackAF -Netflix. Presented by Rashida Jones
Viola Davis fulfilled her character (Annalise Keating). The confidence, dedication, and persistence she upheld throughout the show’s duration are notable and deserving. Being recognized for How To Get Away With Murder (ABC) -Best Actress.
The Industry’s most dynamic innovator, Producer 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) Best Drama For Life.
Sterling K. Brown (Randall, This Is Us, NBC) radiates intensity, and raw emotions, alongside an image the world isn’t used to seeing, A Black Man struggling with anxiety and panic disorder. The parallelism, with his role, ensues with his perspective of being open and honest. Candidly speaking about Black Mental Health. He will be honored as Best Actor, respectively.
Lebron James is receiving the AAFCA’s Inaugural Award for the Best Short Film. I Promise follows the launch and first year of the institution, and it’s opening.
From President Gil Robertson – “We couldn’t be more proud to honor shows and performances that uplift and inspire at a time when we all need entertainment the most. We are especially grateful to have partners like Morgan Stanley as well as the ongoing support of the entertainment community at large, helping us with our year-round activities that highlight not only film, television, and journalism but also diversity, inclusion, and equality.”
