## Resource

At the 57th annual NAACP Image Awards hosted by Deon Cole, the film Sinners swept the ceremony as the night's biggest winner with Michael B. Jordan taking home the highly coveted Entertainer of the Year award. Focusing tightly on the movie-related moments of the ceremony, hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Ray Love Jr. draw a sharp contrast between the tone of this year's Image Awards' unapologetic celebration of Black art as a response to the recent BAFTAs n-word controversy. They also debate exactly who the target audience is for this type of telecast and share their critical thoughts on what it would take to make the broadcast a more exciting viewing experience for the audience at home.
