The 51st Annual NAACP Image Award nominations were announced today, honoring the “outstanding achievements and performances of people of color in the arts, as well as those individuals or groups who promote social justice through their creative endeavors.” The ceremony will air February 22 on BET, hosted by Anthony Anderson, a nominee himself for black-ish. Beyond honors given to 2019 achievements in television and movies, the ceremony also gives awards for music and literature, while also awarding a special prize for Entertainer of the Year.

In the TV space, shows like Watchmen, Dear White People, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Black Monday, Pose, This Is Us, True Detective, When They See Us, Saturday Night Live, and my personal favorite Rhythm + Flow were all nominated in various categories. On the film side, we’ve got Us, Dolemite Is My Name, Queen & Slim, Just Mercy, and Hustlers all represented in various categories. And up for Entertainer of the Year? A versatile slate including Regina King, Billy Porter, and of course Lizzo.

In an awards show cycle full of egregious exclusion of people of color (cough cough, BAFTAs), it’s downright refreshing to see such incredible artists of color respected and appreciated here, with an eclectic slate of media indicating how vital it is to have storytellers of different perspectives in every position. Check out the full list of nominees below. And for more awards show chatter, here’s what the Golden Globes might mean for the Oscars.
