But it'll never happen now... Who's going to show this kind of love for the likes of 'Madea'? How about Kerry Washington in 'King of Scotland' and Gabrielle Union in 'Running With Scissors'? And what about those who're 'doing it' behind the cameras? No props for them this year, I guess. Unless the NAACP Image Awards picks up the slack.   Mzuri "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Mzuri Post Number: 3363 Registered: 01-2006 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

Because it's my understanding that it's not the actors who have a get-together - it's a married couple who funds and coordinates this event. Maybe this secret couple could shed light on what their thinking is.
