NAACP: TV lacking minority faces
Fears raised that networks are backsliding
At a time when the first African-American president is about to take office, a new report is zeroing in on an irony of the historic moment given what the researchers call a "serious shortage of minority faces" on network primetime television.

NAACP noms overlap with Oscar
Has visibility in front of camera translated into black power behind it?
For years, the NAACP Image Awards' podium was the only venue for black actors to make acceptance speeches. Recently, it's just as often been used for encores. Coming after a record five black nominees in Oscar's acting categories, this year's Image Awards ballot overlaps the Academy's to an unprecedented degree. And as the box office receipts for "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "Dreamgirls" demonstrate, toplining black actors have become as prominent commercially as critically.

Minority leads top priority for NAACP
Why 'Ugly' is beautiful
"The NAACP believes in diversity, and our show is multicultural from an African-American point of view," says Vicangelo Bulluck, exec producer of the NAACP Image Awards. "We have a unique relationship with the Hispanic community, the Asian-American community and the Native American community." This is not the first year that the NAACP spotlight has fallen on Latino stars.

NAACP toasts law enforcement actors
Gold shields translate into awards gold
This year's NAACP TV drama competition reveals that law enforcement provides ample opportunity for thesps of color to act with distinction. In addition to HBO's "The Wire" being nommed for outstanding series, all four acting categories claim at least one nominee in possession of a gold shield. Time was when minority actors were consigned to play nothing but criminals. Those days are happily long gone, but who could have guessed that the seesaw would tip in the opposite direction?

'Girlfriends' speaks to style, not issues
Comedy maintain characters' emotional reality
In "Primetime Blues," historian Donald Bogle writes, "For better or worse, the weekly primetime series (has) had a greater effect on viewer perceptions of African-American experiences than any other form of television." In the long-running CW show "Girlfriends," that perception comes in the form of a trio of smart, sophisticated, drop-dead gorgeous L.A. women with good jobs, nice homes and highly sophisticated love lives. More than any other current TV comedy series, "Girlfriends" may represent where the image of black America in popular culture lies today.
