NAACP awards’ date pleases all
In 2001, the NAACP Theatre Awards ceremony took place on the same night as the Ovation Awards -- a conflict that both organizations said they hoped could be avoided in the future.
They succeeded.
This year, the Beverly Hills/Hollywood branch of the NAACP moved its annual ceremony to Jan. 27 -- not to avoid Ovations conflicts, but to be a part of what branch President Ron Hasson called “African American awareness season,” which begins with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday and continues through Black History Month in February. Nominations will be announced in mid-December.
