Throughout the years, I have seen a transformation in the inclusion of Black entertainers at award ceremonies, marked by movements and celebrations emphasizing their contributions to cinema.
The majority-Black gathering at the Fairmont Hotel highlighted progress in recognizing Black cinema, driven by the efforts of AAFCA co-founder Shawn Edwards and innovative events honoring its rich history.
Master of Ceremonies Jay Pharoah’s humor was a nice contrast to the heartfelt speeches, reminding attendees of the deep impact Black filmmakers like Melvin van Peebles had on the industry.
In its seventh year, the Critics Choice Association's event celebrated Black artistry in film and TV, evoking emotional responses from attendees by honoring significant contributions and legacies.
