We Could Only Find Three?

Posted by Brian

 Wanda Sykes

The 32nd Annual American Women in Radio & Television Gracie Allen Awards show was held yesterday in New York and my first though, they could only find three black winners? Damn!

The winners were:

Neicy Nash - Outstanding Program Host

Wanda Sykes -Outstanding Special Comedy Program for “Wanda Sykes: Sick & Tired”

Soledad O’Brien - Outstanding Anchor

And this vote must have been taken months ago because Soledad O’Brien lost her job as anchor for CNN in May. Oops!

Fantasia Performs at Tony Awards

Posted by Brian

Fantasia Barrino

Fantasia Did her thing last night at the Tony Awards performing “I’m Here” from “The Color Purple.”  Well, that’s what I am guessing because no one saw it! Fantasia did not perform until after 11:00 and was not shown on TV. That’s not really too cool.

After thinking about it for a sec, I realized I had no clue what the Tony Awards are for, so probably not many people  I know were watching the show anyway. She still didn’t have to perform when the cleaning crew was working!

Also at the show as presenters were Phylicia Rashad and Taye Diggs.
