I thought the NAACP Image Awards was a wonderful event. I felt proud and inspired as I watch such talented people get called out for being passionate and dedicated to the gift that was place inside of them. It was wonderful to remember when we first became aware of their individual talents and to where it has taken them.

As Morgan Freeman has been hearlded as one of our more proflic actors, it confuses my understanding as to him being honored as an "Image Award" recipient. It is my understanding that his role in previously alledged activity involving certain "inappropriate relationship behavior" would call into question the decision to "award" one for such negative behavior.(assuming the accusations are bonifide)

I thought it was really tacky the will Hill Harper stated how much he loved the work of Sandra Bullock by giving her movie credits done by Julia Roberts. If that had happened to one of us at a majority white show we would have been ready to boycott. Shame on Mr. Harper or whom ever put the wrong information on the teleprompter
