Where to Watch the 2026 NAACP Image Awards

The NAACP Image Awards are back this weekend to honor and celebrate Black artists and their achievements in movies, TV shows, books, and other areas.

This year's 57th Image Awards have two new categories.

 One is Outstanding Editing in a Motion Picture, Television Series, Movie, or Special, with nominees like Michael P. Shawver for "Sinners" and Shaheed Qaasim for "Poker Face." The other is Outstanding Literary Work — Journalism, which recognizes excellent journalism that shares important stories, supports the Black community, and looks at issues affecting the U.S. through the lens of race, justice, and community impact.
