I really, really hope that Kevin will be there with the cast! Do you think he will come to the ceremony?!
Question: NAACP Image Awards is only for black celebrities, right?
PS: There's another nomination for Chandra Wilson but is for her movie, not for Grey's.

I seriously doubt that cast members will be there apart from those nominated. The NAACP awards are to award Black actors.

Well they award shows and actors that promote diverse material onscreen in a positive image, but its not necessarily all African American actors. Sandra Oh herself received an NAACP award for her role in Arli$$. They nominate shows like Grey's that promote diversity in their characters and writing. I think Grey's is innovative because they have characters of so many different backgrounds in the main cast which is rare to see in primetime even now.
Ha, i just noticed Loretta Devine is nominated in Chandra's category, she plays the Cheif's wife from time to time. She used to be on a lot before she was on Eli Stone. I hope this means she will be back on Grey's more often she's one of my favorite character actresses.
