So much happened on Valentine's Day...we never should have taken the day off!  Time does not stop for love, even if it seems like it.  But this news is just as uplifting:  the NAACP Image Awards took place on Thursday, and some of your favorite stars were their in all their glory.  Big winners included Alicia Keys, America Ferrera, Chris Brown, Jordin Sparks, Stevie Wonder, Denzel Washington, Tyler Perry, and Aretha Franklin at the 39th Annual NAACP Image Awards. 

The NAACP Image Awards is an annual awards ceremony similar to the Oscars or the Grammy's; it's presented by the American National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People (NAACP).

Alicia Keys took home the awards for Outstanding Album (for "As I Am"), Outstanding Female Artist, top song, and top music video.  Ferrera won Best Supporting Actress in a comedy series.  Janet Jackson snagged Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her role in "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?" and Tyler Perry's "House Of Payne" won Best Comedy Series.

Christ Brown was named the best Outstanding Male Artist; Jordin Sparks won Outstanding New Female Artist.  Meanwhile, Stevie Wonder was the recipient of the Hall Of Fame Award, and Aretha Franklin the Vanguard Award.  Actress Ruby Dee also got special honors.

Denzel Washington's "The Great Debaters" won four awards, including top film, and an acting award going to Denzel.  The film is based on true stories of an African American debate team in the 1930's.
