2016 NAACP Image Awards Nominees!!!

It is no secret that Ideal PR Media is over the moon about all of the success Michael B Jordan is having right now. We are also very honored that we had the pleasure of handling him at the NAACP Image Awards some years back (CLICK HERE TO SEE ;-). So to see him be nominated in the "Entertainer of the Year" category for the 47th NAACP Image Awards is quite exciting. His performance in "Creed" was riveting, so to know he is also nominated  in the "Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture" for his performance is very deserving. Honestly, the NAACP Image Awards is on my list of favorite events period. The show will air LIVE on Friday February 5th 2016 on TVOne with the Red Carpet at 8PM-E/7PM-C and the show at 9PM-E/8PM-C
