Hosted by the icon herself Queen Latifah, the 2024 NAACP Image Awards will officially premiere Saturday, March 16 at 8/7c on both CBS and BET.

The NAACP Image Awards is considered one of the most iconic annual celebrations of Black excellence that draws some of Hollywood’s biggest and brightest stars for one night.

According to the NAACP, Colman Domingo leads in this year’s nominations across the motion picture categories with three total nods while Ayo Edebiri received the most nominations in the television and streaming categories with two for Abbott Elementary and The Bear.

Meanwhile, Victoria Monét and Usher received the most nominations in the music recording categories, earning six and five nods, respectively.

Where can I watch the 55th NAACP Image Awards?

Those who have ditched basic cable can live stream the awards show on Saturday with either Philo, Fubo or DirecTV Stream. All three live streaming services have access to BET, however, only Fubo and DirecTV Stream can access the CBS channel.

However, Philo is the cheapest of the three streaming services at $25 a month after its 7-day free trial.
