Denzel Washington's "The Great Debaters" and Tyler Perry's TBS series "House of Payne" took top honors at the NAACP Image Awards.
"The Great Debaters" was named top film, while acting prizes went to its stars Washington, Jurnee Smollett and teenager Denzel Whitaker. Washington also directed the film, based on the real-life victories of a black debating team in the 1930s.
"I'll be at that other show next week, but my heart is here," said Washington, who is a presenter at the Feb. 24 Academy Awards. "I'm just so happy to see these young people get recognized."
Other winners included Grey's Anatomy, CSI: NY, Aretha Franklin, and Janet Jackson was honored with a special award.
