Further adding insult to injury, alleged hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett remains nominated for the 2019 NAACP Image Awards that is scheduled for this coming Saturday, reports USA Today.
“This is the fourth consecutive year Smollett has been nominated in the Image Awards’ Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category,” reports the outlet. “He previously won in that category in 2017 and has also nabbed three different music-related Image Awards for his work on ‘Empire, according to IMDb.”
Smollett has attended the last three NAACP image award shows. This year the event will be hosted by “Blackish” star Anthony Anderson, who told Variety he hopes to see the alleged hate hoaxer give a speech, admitting he’s happy that “the system worked for him.”
“I hope he wins,” Anderson said. “I’m happy for him that the system worked for him in his favor because the system isn’t always fair, especially for people of color. So I’m glad it worked out for him.”
“It’s not my place or any other person’s place to judge him or what not, but I’m glad he’s nominated,” Anderson continued. “I hope he wins because I’d be interested to hear his speech.”
