PASADENA, CA – Hip Hop artists such as 50 Cent and Lizzo were winners at the 2020 NAACP Image Awards, which were held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Saturday (February 22). Beyoncé also added multiple awards to her collection after claiming victory in six categories.
Lizzo took home the coveted Entertainer Of the Year honors as well as the award for Outstanding Music Video/Visual Album. 50 Cent’s music didn’t earn him any recognition at the ceremony, but his directorial work on Power se- cured the win for Outstanding Di- recting in a Drama Series.
Beyoncé’s concert film Home- coming and The Lion King: The Gift album helped her take home awards for Outstanding Variety (Series or Special), Outstanding Album and Outstanding Female Artist, among others. Her daugh- ter Blue Ivy Carter even got a win for Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration.
Other notable award recipients included Lil Nas X, who won Outstanding New Artist, and Ri- hanna, who received the Presi- dent’s Award. The latter is presented “in recognition of a spe- cial achievement and distin- guished public service,” according to the NAACP.

Movie Mogul Harvey We- instein was found guilty of committing a criminal sex act in the first degree involving one woman and rape in the third degree involving another woman.
A New York jury acquitted the disgraced movie mogul on the more serious charges of predatory sexual assault involv-
ing the two women, Miriam Haley and Jessica Mann.
In doing so, jurors indicated that they did not find beyond a reasonable doubt that Wein- stein had also raped Annabella Sciorra, another victim whose testimony prose- cutors used in an attempt to es- tablish Weinstein’s predatory behavior.
