Charlamagne tha God, Nicole Brown, Reinaldo Marcus Green, and Danielle Lawson were among the talented creatives who attended the annual African American Film Critics Association Awards on Wednesday night, honoring some of Hollywood’s biggest and brightest.Charlamagne, whose show The God’s Honest Truth was recently renewed for a second season at Comedy Central, served as the host of the night’s festivities.“We’ll be back this summer,” he told Deadline of his Season 2 return. “There were a lot of learning curves in the first season that we picked up on and now we’re working on making everything better.”Charlamagne credits the success of his show and that of films like King Richard and The Harder They Fall on the industry allowing “Black people to lead.”“For too long, you had white executives in these rooms trying to make Black decisions.
And it’s been the same thing for women, the LGBTQ community, and so forth,” he said. “Anytime anybody wants to do things for a community, you have to let that community lead.
What you’re seeing here tonight is the result of letting Black people lead.”AAFCA president Gil Robertson echoed a similar statement.“This year is another great example that quality projects featuring people of color and themes that reflect our communities are yielding box office numbers,” he shared. “A very important part of our DNA is our partnership with other organizations representing other diverse communities like NALIP and CAPE.
We support one another and make sure we provide avenues that will allow us all to shine.”Nicole Brown, President of TriStar Pictures, accepted the Cinema Vanguard Award on behalf of Sony Pictures’ Motion Picture Group.
