The 45th Annunal NAACP Image Awards were held at Pasadena Civil Auditorium in California last night and was hosted by Anthony Anderson. Before the first award was presented he made the announcement that the award show is going to continue to air on TV One for the next five years.
Known for his humor, Anderson started the show by stating, “We started from the bottom from slavery and now we made it to the top.” There were no performances on the show except for the moving tribute to Nelson Mandela from Stevie Wonder.
