The 18th Annual Black Reel Awards

The biggest night in Black Film happens tonight as we celebrate and announce the winners of the 18th Black Reel Awards. Join us as we honor the best and brightest of film from 2017. Pacing the field with 12 nominations, Jordan Peele's Get Out was a critical and cultural touchstone that resonated with film audiences all year. Other notable films that will be represented this evening is Malcolm Lee's hilarious comedy, Girls Trip, Dee Rees' adaptation of Hilary Jordan's book, Mudbound, the powerful re-telling of the brutal incident at the Algiers Motel depicted in Detroit, and an early look at a future Supreme Court Justice in Reginald Hudlin's drama, Marshall. We'll also salute this year's Special Achievement Honorees, Cicely Tyson, Spike Lee, Jordan Peelle and Oprah Winfrey all during the 18th Annual Black Reel Awards . . .
