Red Carpet Rundown: 56th Annual NAACP Image Awards

The 56th NAACP Image Awards took place on February 22, airing live on BET and CBS from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles. The star-studded event, hosted by actor-comedian Deon Cole, wrapped up several days of exciting winner announcements. Among the honorees were Ayo Edebiri, recognized for her work on The Bear and Saturday Night Live, Keke Palmer, host of Password and a performer, and GloRilla, who led the music categories with six nominations.

In the Entertainer of the Year category, Taraji P. Henson entered the ceremony as a two-time winner, recognized for her role in the limited series Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist and as the author of the children’s book You Can Be a Good Friend (No Matter What!): A Lil TJ Book. Other previously announced winners included Samuel L. Jackson, Marlon Wayans, Joy Ann Reid, Blue Ivy Carter, Doechii, Samara Joy, and Jamie Foxx for his comedy special What Had Happened Was.

Special honors were given to several trailblazers in various industries: Kamala Harris received the Chairman’s Award, Dave Chappelle the President’s Award, and the Wayans family was inducted into the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame.

This year’s ceremony also showed support for communities affected by the Los Angeles wildfires in January, including those in Altadena, Pacific Palisades, and Pasadena. See the red carpet arrivals inside…
