NAACP Image Award 2013, nomination musica: Bruno Mars e Alicia Keys candidati

Si è conclusa da poco la conferenza stampa al Paley Center for Media di Beverly Hills per l’annuncio delle nomination ai NAACP Image Awards 2013

La sigla NAACP, per chi non lo sapesse, indica National Association for the Advancement of Colored People e vuole celebrare e omaggiare gli artisti di coloro che maggiormente si sono distinti in ambito televisivo, cinematografico e musicale. La prima cerimonia risale al 1969 e solo a partire da 2007 la consegna dei premi viene trasmessa in diretta. La 44esima edizione si terrà il prossimo 1 febbraio 2013

In passato tra le artisti femminili vinsero Alicia Keys, Mary J Blige e anche la compianta Whitney Houston. Tra i cantanti maschili Cee Lo Green, Usher e Luther Vandross. Infine ultime curiosità: nel 2002 il miglior video fu “You Rock My World” di Michael Jackson e nel 2010 “I Look to you” della Houston.
