This was a long ballot.:p

Tonight

I wasn't going to comment on the awards tonight because I missed the first 30 to 40 mins.........but........I do hae one thing to say....who in the hell left the gate open for Denzel and no hair (please let thta be for that movie he is in) and to much hair for his wife Paulette....hey I'm just saying that was a whole lotta hair all over the place.:)

Why did House of Payne win...anything?

I was so disgusted by that.

Has The Wire ever won an Image award I wonder?

It's Tyler Perry's world.:(:rolleyes:

I was disgusted as well. I only saw when Lavan won while I was on the elliptical machine and I thought I would gag.:(

Baldness looks so sexy on certain black men. And I will gladly add Denzel and Steve to the category of sexy bald men:D

If you looked at Denzel's head you could see where the hairline had receded. I prefer him bald than with hair starting behind the ears, or worse a Men's Hair Club piece.

^^^

Speaking of Denzel, I'm watching John Q on TBS. Health care.....SMH. :(

Hey...I missed the awards show. Can someone fill me in on the performances? Were they any good this year?

I didn't see the entire show but the part I saw with the girl from The great debaters was very inspiring. She just seems like a pleasant young lady.

I didn't care for DL as the host but overall it was a good show.

If he is bald because he has to be...ok I will give him that, but other than that I no like it...he he he
