Why on earth is Justin Timberlake nominated for an NAACP Image Award?

I mean he used to talk black but that is about as close as he got.

• I''m pretty sure he fucked/sucked black, as well.

• please, OP, enlighten us on what it means to ''talk black.'' How is it different from ''talking white'' or ''talking Asian?''

• NAACP is a joke. Who cares?

• He makes blacks feel better about being black.

• Colored people of Earth are ready to forgive him for exposing Janet Jackson''s breast.

• He grew up very well off in Millington, TN. But he lies and says he is from Memphis and that he grew up "in the church." He grew up in the same neighborhood where the Reverend Al Green has his mansion. Yes, I said mansion. \ \ They do not call him punk ass bitch (PAB) Timberlake for nothing. \ \ He is an ass. Oh and he barely has any musical talent at all. He is a studio creation. Hence no album anytime soon.

• Dakota Fanning was also nominated for that Bees movie a couple of yeas ago.\ \ Go figure.

• So, what happened to the NAACP?

• You realize that he''s going to get a surprise Oscar supporting nomination Tuesday morning.

• Angelina Jolie was nominated for playing Marianne Pearl several years ago.%0D\ %0D\ Sandra Bullock was nominated last year.%0D\ %0D\ Of course, these two and Dakota starred in casts that featured US racial minorities in pivotal roles.

• The Dakota movie was called "How to train your Bees" or something like that. It also starred Jennifer Hudson.

• They also nominated super asshole Bill Maher one year.%0D\ %0D

• He''s a nappy headed he-ho.

• r11, the title is THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES.

• [quote]please, OP, enlighten us on what it means to ''talk black.'' How is it different from ''talking white'' or ''talking Asian?''%0D\ %0D\ Like his fellow wigga Eminem, he speaks with a fake blackcent in order to be considered "cool" by their mainly white audience. ''Talking white'' refers to the likes of Bryant Gumbel but it has the opposite effect as oreos are the the butt of jokes and ridicule in the black community.%0D\ %0D

• "talking asian"%0D\ %0D\ %0D\ see Bai Ling%0D\ %0D\ %0D

• I guess Jolie was nominated since Marianne Pearl is half black.

• [quote]The Dakota movie was called "How to train your Bees" or something like that.

• Justin has dropped the blackcent since becoming a Serious Actor and buying a pair of glasses.\ \ Now Justin Bieber has it. Every time I see the kind I want to shout at him "You''re from fucking ONTARIO!"

• [quote]The Dakota movie was called "How to train your Bees" or something like that.%0D\ %0D\ LOL.

• "Every time I see the kid" rather.

• The NCAAP Image Awards are supposed to celebrate DIVERSITY in the arts. So if there isn''t one white nominee, it''s not very diverse, is it?

• [quote]Now Justin Bieber has it. Every time I see the kind I want to shout at him "You''re from fucking ONTARIO!"%0D\ %0D\ He''s wearing 3-D glasses to promote his upcoming movie in 3-D. Bieber predicted that he will be #1 @ the boxoffice.

• "You realize that he''s going to get a surprise Oscar supporting nomination Tuesday morning."\ \ We''ll see in an hour and a half, dear.

• Have you read the blogs? Everyone is predicting that Justin Timberlake will get nominated for "The Social Network".

• Why wasn''t he nominated for a Globe if he is such a shoo-in?

• I''ll be happy if Christian Bale is not nominated.

• Because, Justin will be the surprise nomination. I would love for him to win over that diva Christian Bale.

• I want Geoffrey Rush to win over Christian Bale, but I''ll take Justin too.

• I have no idea.

• [quote]The NCAAP Image Awards are supposed to celebrate DIVERSITY in the arts. So if there isn''t one white nominee, it''s not very diverse, is it?%0D\ %0D\ Actually, that''s not quite true. 30 ROCK, GLEE and MODERN FAMILY are among the best comedy nominees, meaning if either one would win, the award would go to its very white producers.

• I don''t really watch any of them, R31. Are they known for being diverse?

• You have to understand that the awards are televised and, as such, there''s pressure to bring in a wider audience. Nominating him and (in a past year) Angelina Joli, is part of that effort.\ \ Same reason why the Golden Globes nominated the awful The Tourist--it ensured Angelina Joli and Johnny Depp.

• "He''s wearing 3-D glasses to promote his upcoming movie in 3-D. Bieber predicted that he will be #1 @ the boxoffice."\ \ And considering the taste level of America these days, the little bastard''s probably right.

• And... no Justin nomination. Andrew Garfield didn''t even get one.

• 90% of the public finds him hot, that''s why.

• [quote] 90% of the public finds him hot, that''s why.\ \ link please

• Poor Andrew Garfiled wanted to win so bad at the GG''s his hand was visibly shaking when his name was announced.

• I didn''t notice that, R38. I''ll have to re-watch it.

• r6, who but you says that ridiculous "(PAB)" shit? Yeah, I''m sure everyone in Memphis, where he''s the biggest local boy gone big since Elvis, calls him some stupid slur.%0D\ %0D\ He grew up in an unincorporated rural area near Millington called Shelby Forest and does not claim to have grown up impoverished in Memphis. His grandfather was a Baptist preacher and his father was a church music director, hence "in the church."%0D\ %0D\ He didn''t deserve an Oscar nom no matter how much he wanted it.

• It was reported that Justin was surprised that him and Andrew Garfield didn''t get nominated.

• Garfield''s performance was perfectly competent but nothing exciting. Timberlake''s was more interesting but the only way he was getting an Oscar nom would''ve been by presenting hole. The movie had massive runaway buzz but the runaway part faded too early for the Oscars.

• His jewfro makes him more black than Obama

• Stop trying to make Timberlake happen.

• He's so annoying and hideous to look at or listen to. Why he has any fans is a mystery.

• He's pretty, he can sing and he can act. And you?
