Tyler Perry Yahya Nicole Avant, amber jokes Roven Die

Tyler Perry made a special trip to Los Angeles to introduce his friend (and the producer of his last movie to Netflix, “The Six Triple Eight”) Nicole Avant with the BEACON Award at the Sixteenth annual American Film Critics Awards.

“I don’t know why I work like I am still breaking,” Perry jokingly said about reaching the Beverly Wilsheire Hotel directly from the airport, then moving on the plane when the show ended.

But the fast Roundtrip was necessary to support the AAFCA mission of lifting black stories – “especially in this climate when there are a lot of attacks on who we are, and what are our stories”, and the tricks of the Avant Greeting, which is confirmed by “Hollywood Kings” as the daughter of the late Jacqueline Avant, Mohsen, and Clarence Avant, Executive Director of Music known as “The Black Godfather.

On the red carpet, I told Nicole Avant diverse Her parents will be proud to see her receive this specific honor. “I am sure they were rejoicing. My mother always told me to go out in the world and to be the light. She said,” Choose any side you are, then play the ball. “I haven’t been here since” The Black Dodfather ” [documentary] In 2019, when my father received a prize. ”

On the stage, Avant devoted the prize to them, in addition to its godfather, the late Quincy Jones, as well as all the people who were “beacons of light along my journey”, including Don Cornellius, Cecison Tyson, Mohamed Ali, Dahan Carroll, Sydney Boitier. Perry stood behind her laughter, as he confirmed his view on “Hollywood Kings” of everything and the black cultural icons she faced throughout her life because of this situation.

“These giants coincided with some of my best friends, and I was lucky enough to feed them, their blessings, their grace, gratitude, sympathy, and their flexibility” talents, executives, creators and critics. “In their own way, each of them asked me to take the energy of survival, and transfer it to a new energy, and that energy will flourish. They reminded me of their difficulties and obstacles, and they asked me to never forget them. But most importantly, he reminded me that I am the promise, and all of them are the promise.” .

Avant speech spoke to the general topic of the evening: Encouraging those who pick up the black experience through their art-from the veterans of the industry such as “Sing Sing” Coleman Domingo and actor “difficult facts” Marianne Jean-Baitte on film makers such as “The Piano” the lesson Malcolm Washington “and” Nickel Boys “Ramell Ross – to believe in their strength.

On the red carpet, Ross was reflected in the importance of honoring AAFCA critics. And he told diverse. “this They are the real Academy Awards. “

The “Piano Lesson” star, Daniel Deviller, agreed. She said about the attendance of this ceremony: “This is the type of ritual healing and teamwork that we need.” “People who understand some details, differences and characteristics of the art that we have made. Aafca does it. Aafca gets to know our works. You want to be among you at times. It is very important.”

This is a welcome praise for the president of AAFCA and co -founder, Robertson generation. “I am proud that we are puberty – we officially celebrate Sweet 16,” he said jokingly. (AAFCA was founded 22 years ago, in 2003, but the award started later.) “During that time, we were able to help move the needle, so we hope we can continue to do so.”

With the ceremony during the month of black history, it is placed between a large number of celebrations of black stories narrators, including the American Black Film Festival, NAACP Awards and more.

“Our image is strong. If you are considering that we are 15 % of the population, but our influence is almost lacking in every region, every indicator in this country, black people changed the game, they were re -defined, have turned, have turned,”. Noting that the presidents of ABFF (JEFF, Nicole Frady) and the Martha’s Vineyard African Film (Stephanie and Floyd Rance) were on the list of guests. “It is really related to showing how, as black creativity, honor and respect each other and how we are about high -end stories that make our society better.”

In addition, the timing of the greeting could not have been more needed amid the Trump administration targeting the Dei programs and the growing anxiety about how this affects the content with the interaction of Hollywood companies.

Where Perry has hinted at the risky political climate, the APCA Amber Roven Awards is not strange for her participation, as an Emmy candidate for “late at night with Seth Maires” and her named dialogue program. No punching on the situation in its inaugural monologue was withdrawn.

“I must be honest, although things are bad now. Between declining diversity, fairness and inclusion; the price of eggs. Roven said:” The price of cowboy tickets Carter, “while the audience was wandering in laughter – the loss was almost canceled Ticketmaster. I don’t have anything with Master in the name.

Ruffin continued: “It may be difficult to celebrate when our country seems to return to 100 steps. Do you remember the old days that we can say proudly,“ My head is black? ”Now,“ My head is the Nazi Qalism in South Africa with hair remittances. “It does not completely roll from the tongue.”

But Rovin said she was encouraged by AAFCA Energy. “This group proves that regardless of what they think can take them from us, we will continue to spread joy through the strength of the movie. Our joy is our flexibility. Just as Kindrik Lamar Al -Azim said,” Drake … I hear like “Em Young …” , Quoting the Lamar DISS path, as the crowd toured with consent, again. “I’m sorry, Kindrik Lamar said,” We are fine. “We’ll actually be more than fine.”

Ruffin – which will occupy the title “White House Representatives” – a more serious touch to ending the thing: “This is the beautiful thing in black cinema and black art in general: we create though. We boldly tell our stories though. We excel though. We celebrate each other though.
