Cynthia Erivo, Keke Palmer, Kendrick Lamar, Kevin Hart and Shannon Sharpe are competing for entertainer of the year at the 56th NAACP Image Awards. GloRilla received the most nominations in the music/recording categories, with six, followed by Doechii, Lamar and Usher, with four nods each. RCA Records received 11 nominations, the most among record labels. Nominations were announced Tuesday (Jan. 7) live on CBS Mornings by singer and actress Chlöe Bailey and NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson and on YouTube by actress Novi Brown and musician/actor Trevor Jackson. The nominees for outstanding album are Doechii’s Alligator Bites Never Heal, PJ Morton’s Cape Town to Cairo, Usher’s Coming Home, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and GloRilla’s Glorious. Cowboy Carter is nominated for both album of the year and best country album at the upcoming Grammy Awards. Coming Home is Grammy-nominated for best R&B album; Alligator Bites Never Heal for best rap album. Doechii, Myles Smith, Samoht, Shaboozey and Tyla are vying for the Image Award for outstanding new artist. Doechii and Shaboozey are nominated for best new artist at the Grammys. Tyla wasn’t eligible in that category because she won a Grammy at last year’s ceremony. The Piano Lesson leads in motion picture categories with 14 nods, followed by The Book of Clarence with six. Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist leads across the television categories with nine nominations. Netflix garnered an impressive 64 nominations. Ayo Edebiri is the leading performer in the television and streaming categories with four nominations – three for her role in The Bear and one for Saturday Night Live.
