Halle Berry Tyler Perry To Host NAACP Image Awards 2009

Singers Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson, along with the cast of TV comedy Tyler Perry's House of Payne, are among the top nominees for the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People's (NAACP) Image Awards.

Television mini-series A Raisin in the Sun also received multiple nominations, while Cadillac Records and The Secret Life of Bees dominated movie entries for the 40th NAACP Image Awards.

The NAACP also announced that hip-hop music producer and businessman Russell Simmons will receive its prestigious Vanguard award next month for helping to increase understanding of racial and social issues.

Simmons, 51, the co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, was cited for using the power of hip-hop culture to inspire American youth.

He joins past Vanguard recipients Aretha Franklin, Prince, Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kramer.

Beyonce led the music nominations with five nods including outstanding artist, album, song, and music video for Single Ladies and If I Were a Boy.

Former American Idol contestant Hudson and Keys were close behind in the music category, and along with Beyonce, they picked up more nominations in the film section for roles in dramas The Secret Life of Bees and Cadillac Records.

In television, TBS sitcom Tyler Perry's House of Payne towered over the best comedy nominees, with cast members LaVan Davis, Cassi Davis, Lance Gross, Larramie 'Doc' Shaw, and Keshia Knight Pulliam all winning nods in the acting categories.

The ABC miniseries A Raisin in the Sun, based on the 1950s play about life in a black neighbourhood of Chicago, won nominations for outstanding drama and for its five leading actors and actresses.

The NAACP Image Awards in 53 categories spanning music, literature, television and music, will be handed out in Los Angeles on February 12.
