March 8The NAACP Image Awards have sometimes been the subject of controversy due to claims that certain nominees did not deserve to be honored by the NAACP. For example, in 1994, Tupac Shakur was a nominee for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for the film Poetic Justice although he had been charged in December 1993 with sexually abusing a woman.[1] In 2004, R. Kelly's Chocolate Factory was nominated for Outstanding Album[2] although he was under indictment at the time for charges related to child pornography.[3]
Other nominees have faced controversy due to their portrayals of major civil rights figures. In 2003, the movie Barbershop received five nominations including Outstanding Motion Picture and Cedric the Entertainer as Outstanding Supporting Actor. The film had been criticized because Cedric's character in the film makes unflattering remarks about Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Jesse Jackson.[4] The rap group OutKast received six nominations in 2004 but faced criticism because they had previously recorded a song titled "Rosa Parks" which had resulted in them being sued by Parks over the use of her name.[3]
