Awards
Season Heats Up over Busy Weekend
Big
Winners: Black-ish, Adele and La-La Land
The
NAACP, Grammys and British Academy Awards were all handed out this
weekend. The festivities kicked off with the Image Awards, a Friday
and Saturday event with only the second night being televised.
The
sitcom Black-ish (6) took home the most TV trophies, Beyonce' (5)
garnered the most in music for her concept album, "Lemonade,"
while the gay empowerment drama Moonlight (4) landed the most among
the movie entrants.
On
Sunday, Adele (5) dominated the Grammys, win
ning for Album ("25),
Record, Song ("Hello") and Solo Performance of the Year. In
the process, she beat out Beyonce', who only prevailed in the Music
Video and Urban Contemporary categories.
Meanwhile,
the British Academy of Film and Television Arts was staging its award
ceremony across the pond. La La Land (5) continued its victory tour,
adding notches to its belt in the Best Picture, Actress (Emma Stone),
Director (Damien Chazelle), Original Music and Cinematography
categories.
Factoring
in the results of these three shows, it's hard to say which film has
the best chance to give La La a run for its money at the Oscars.
Moonlight has certainly received the second most accolades on the
awards circuit, although box-office favorite Hidden Figures might be
building momentum.
And
you can't count out Fences, between the highly-lauded performances of
co-stars Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, and the pressure being
put on the Academy to be more ethnically inclusive after snubbing
minorities entirely a couple years in a row. The Oscars will air live
on ABC-TV on Sunday, February 26th at 8:30 pm ET and will be hosted
by Jimmy Kimmel.
