Some of these actors were literally on for about a total of five minutes last year. And Denise Vasi told me to ask the NAACP where the hell is her nomination if Eva Marcille got one!

Thanks NAACP for making us look bad again, and again, and again...sigh

Maybe they should discontinue the acting categories for daytime like they did for daytime series years ago...just a thought!

Eva Marcille shouldn't be in the same ROOM with Debi Morgan let alone UP FOR THE SAME AWARD!!!!!

This, coming from a Y/R fan SLASH AMC loather. I'll call a spade a spade - DM is one of the few OUTSTANDING actress's on that show.

I harly remember that whole Ty-Ty debacle in Genoa City anyway (shudder) That should tell these people something. If you're Award Worthy, please - at least be memorable.

Terrell Tilford, Texas Battle, Eva Marcille . . . a veritable who's who of DC dishonorable mentions.

Ok what about Remy/Christina/Mel from GL? I realize not everyone embraced the new production model but if Texas Battle and Eva Marcille can get on the noms list why not them?

Texas Battle over Darnell Williams. Never thought I'd see the day. Hell, Sandra Bullock got a nomination!

Time to combine these categories if they are not going to take this seriously.

This list brought a much needed chuckle to my day.  Come on NAACP, Texas Battle!!!  Really?  Somebody needs to explain to them the definition of supporting actor and actress.

Who is Cassius Willis?
Seriously, no Tika Sumpter???? 
Texas Battle, Terrell Tillford, did they purposely pick the worst of the worst?

No words, I would prefer them discontinue the category quite frankly.

What a disgraceful joke!  Eva Marcille instead of Renee Jones or Christel Khalil? 

Texas Battle instead of James Reynolds or Kristoff St. John or Darnell Williams???

Just a joke!

Tatyana Ali??? Why the hell did she get nominated as a LEAD actress?  The woman just shows up and says hi and bye. 

I'm appalled and embarrassed that this award has been hijacked. 

What exactly did the guy who plays Det. Gil do to deserve a nomination? 

Why some of these people are good actors, they simply did not earn a nomination.

They just needed an excuse to put lots of eye candy in the audience...they use the actors and talent they consider the attractive ones, and then added 2 top actresses to give it some cred.

This sucks

Tika my Goddess is robbed
Sonya Eddy is robbed
SHENELL EDMONDS

^all this talent, but instead NAACP wants to show the buff and or light skinned guys and light skinned gals with long flowing Auburn hair.

Katiebug,

You're right!  Saint Victor and Mosley had substantial roles on GL unlike Tatyana Ali and the guy who played Det Gil on Y&R. 

If Sandar Bullock can get an award nominee why not Latina Florencia Lozano?  Isn't Kamar De Los Reyes part black?

Someone needs to resign her/his post for allowing these nominations to go through.

Could you imagine Eva Marcille accepting her award for best actress portraying and incestuous manipulative cryer? 

Seriously, instead of Tatyana Ali, why not nominate Sonya Eddy from GH?  She actually speaks occassionally complete paragraphs of text instead of a single sentence hear or there. 

(Look, I like Tatyana Ali.  If she actually had a role that required her to significantly act, I'd be happy to support her--l ike on Buppies.  This nomination is just wrong.)

This is funny.... The NAACP needs to catch a clue.  Heads need to roll over this... maybe these people were nominated because they paid their NAACP dues on time or at least made a particle payment.

I will equate the oversights of James Renoylds and Darnell Williams to them most likely not submitting, but where's Renee Jones and Sonya Eddy? And y'all this is Texas Battle second nom! Now how sad is that? Lawrence St. Victor is somewhere bench pressing in furry.

Uh do me a favor?! Tell Denise I said she didn't get nominated because she can't ACT!

Her acting SUCKS!

East.West,

Nope.  I'm not going to buy that Williams and Reynolds didn't submit their names.  Do you think Sandra Bullock submitted her name? 

Lawrence Saint Victor and Karla Mosley were both overlooked.  They both deserve nominations over Willis and Ali. 

Where is Tika Sumpter????

Hell!  Where's Yvonna Kopacz-Wright?  My Mel Beaudreaux deserves a nomination over that hack Pigford. 

In previous years, Image Award nominated Latina/os.  Why didn't they nominate Florencia Lozano or Kamar de los Reyes--he's Puerto Rican and obviously part black.  Wink

What's really sad is that in 2009, although we still have a terrible lack of diversity on soaps, some of the few decent African-American actors and actresses can't even get an EARNED(!!!) nomination from their own people!

Give me a break!  Christel Khalil is half of one of Y&R's most popular couples.   What a joke.

Nope, I will not be watching this crap when it's on the air.

What a terrible insult to the actors, actresses, and their fans.
