if Denzel Washington created ''the Washington'' awards. it will be bigger than the OSCACS
- Thread starter keone
- Start date
"the Washington awards"? ...doesn't sound right, plus watch, white folks take it over and it'll be the George Washington awards in a decade. The gentrification of culture is REAL.
I feel you but maybe call it the Poitier's
what will he given the best actor award to Meek Mill for his performance in streets.
that pinky
I didn't even notice that... dude used to play WR or something?
yeah as long as it someone who everybody respects.
thats what madden will dothat pinky
I think there are too many awards shows in the first place.
Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, BET, Grammys, Image, Soul Train, Kid's Choice, etc. As soon as one is over another one announces it's nominees.
There should only be one each for movies, tv, and music, and it should be "people's choice" in the sense that everyone is automatically nominated in their respected category and the winners are determined by popular vote.

You aint lying.
In addition, a lot of Denzel's dirty laundry will come out in the process. I doubt he'd risk that.
that shit don't apply here.
Depends on whether the big name winners actually show up to, accept the award. If the other stars don't support it then it will go nowhere. That's the problem the other shows have; they have to give the awards to 2nd rate
Actors because they're the only ones who actually show up.

That shit would b nothing more than the NAACP, Soul Train or BET Awards........
How about we fix those before we create some more?

If Every brotha and sista no matter their economic situation did what they could to improve where they live ie getting a dollar store broom and dust pan the neighborhood would be cleaner. The community would be better off as a whole. Get some industrial construction bags from home depot and some gloves work for a few hrs every weekend.
Forget an awards show. Forget the bet awards, forget instagram and forget who's new and old in rap.
Stop begging Denzel, Will, Lebron, Mike whomever to give up their livelihoods when You average bgoler won't put in the same work.
Mentor some kids don't teach them your bitter ass ways.
Create hope and speak Life not death.
Denzel, Will, Bron, Steph all their kids are good. Can You say the same for yours? Kats got work to do at home. Naw they would rather worry about what's going on behind the gated community where their favorite stars reside.

there is no need to fix them.bet is owned by white people. sometimes its best to start over. bet dont even have a movie awards.
stop all that bro. first of all this a another situation. they are the ones complaining. if you want to keep crying to white people for accepting be my guest. but if you want to do something about this one the ways. all that ''why dont you do it'' shit is one of the reasons we are stuck.

yeah movies themselves don't get supported but the awards show would.
I can see it now , everybody would be running to support the Denzie's...
Maybe they could just add some categories at the Player's Ball for movies.

All of this shit is owned by white people if you want to go that route. BET Awards, regardless of who owns it is meant to support artists, entertainers, actors, etc. of color. Yet, those same artists don't show up to that event but will show up to the Grammy's and CRY when they don't win shit at those awards. So whether its the BET Awards, or the NAACP or Soul Train Awards, how about we support them before creating something else we won't support or acknowledge because cac's don't.
Denzel finger is like that from playing basketball in high school. He did not get it fix back then and just decided to leave it that way.
thats the whole point what dont you understand about creating your own.? if the shit is controlled by cacs at the end of the road when something get big you still owned by somebody else meaning you have to do it their way. and they still have the last word. if you want to be free create your own shit. you want to cry about the oscars but still go to something like the bet awards whats still controlled by them. there is no excuse anymore they have the means to do it. now whether they will its up to them.
create your own and you dont have to answer to nobody.
you just proved my point
First of all who said Denzel would want his name associated with such an award. I doubt he would approve. If such an award were to be created shouldn't it be named after one of our icons from years ago. One of the ground breakers of our race. Not someone who is currently still acting.
The first true black actors I can remember was Sammy Davis Jr. the second was Sidney Poitier both who appeared in Porgy and Bess.
The Davis Award
The Poitier Award
I personally lean towards "The Poitier Award" Sidney Poitier IMO had the more dignified career.

Micheaux awards 
No telling what state we would be in without oscar micheaux.

Paul Robeson
Clarence Muse
Bill Robinson
But I don't think people know enough about them to consider. Huge sacrifices made by them, though
Good listing! I listed Sammy and Sidney because they both were in Porgy and Bess and it was the first black cast movie I remembered.
Yes, yes add them they all are deserving of such honor. As I think more about it Paul Robeson would be a better choice. The thing is not to trivialize the award by picking the wrong name.
You do know of course were about to lose 75% of the board members with these selections.
I like that but didn't Hattie McDaniel win the FIRST Academy Award?
I'll just post what I said about this earlier:
I've fantasized and scenario'd for a while what your talking about and the unfortunately the conclusion I keep coming to is..Black Hollywood wouldn't start off like the Negro Leagues...it WOULD BE the Negro Leagues.
And like the MLB, Hollywood would marginalize it and use it as farm system to cherry pick the best talent all the while blocking distribution or them being distribution for it which makes it a subsidiary of cac industries. Blacks would use it to build up a resume just so they can walk across the street to get those higher paying gigs in hollywood. They would rather fly coach in the white mans plane that sit in first class in their own.
There would very little loyalty and as the more popular more talented blacks are offered more money by cacs to come over the fence they would say its just business draining black hollywood of its best more popular talent (becuz we know an aspect of their deal would be you either play with us or you don't..ever)
And Black Hollywood would go the way the Negro Leagues went and eventually peter out after 10 or so years or stay marginalized until its novelty factor was no longer viable.
Unless you can show me a big change in the business model thats the only most likely conclusion I keep coming up with

they sleeping
Black Man of the Day: Oscar Micheaux (Father of Black Cinema)
:lol The "Washington's" would be named after Denzel but still be owned by whites. Let's don't kid ourselves.
lol what would the point be of doing it then. yeah in that case go for the bet awards etc. what im saying is building a show thats majority owned by black people. if thats not the case then yeah no point in even starting one.
At first I saw the title and was like aw man a typo. 
Then I was like wait a second. That's not a typo 
washingtons is a bad name, but it can;t be one person because its about all black ppl in hollywood, it has to be a coalition.
I'd think Denzel, Samuel L, Spike, Oprah, Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry, Will Smith bitch ass, & Chris Rock.
That team is braod enough, powerful enough and captures pretty much every part of the black base to get it done. It needs more women,
maybe Ava Duvernay, Lupita, Kerry Washington and/or Shonda Rhimes.
