Deon Cole Returns to Host NAACP Image Awards and Says 'Terrible' BAFTA Disruption Will Be Addressed
Deon Cole will respond to the racial slur incident at the British Academy Film Awards while honoring Viola Davis and Colman Domingo at the 57th NAACP Image Awards.
- On Saturday, Deon Cole, comedian-actor and host, will address the `terrible` BAFTA incident at the 57th NAACP Image Awards airing live on Paramount networks including BET and CBS.
- During a prerecorded segment at the BAFTAs, John Davidson, a Tourette syndrome advocate, shouted a racial slur while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented on Sunday.
- Cole told The Associated Press he is preparing for celebration and unpredictability, highlighting his versatility with success on black-ish, The Neighborhood, and at least four sitcoms in syndication.
- This year the ceremony will include tributes to Viola Davis, Chairman's Award honoree, and Colman Domingo, President's Award honoree, while the NAACP Image Awards honor achievements across entertainment, culture and public service.
- Recalling past off-script moments, Cole said live television is unpredictable, citing Kerry Washington going off script last year, and emphasized a comedic approach balancing tone and timing.
