Jussie Smollett is nominated for an NAACP Award, and host Anthony Anderson hopes he wins

Just days after the prosecutors dropped all charges against Jussie Smollett, who had been indicted on 16 counts of disorderly conduct, the "Empire" actor could again make headlines.

Smollett is nominated for the 2019 NAACP Image Awards, scheduled for Saturday. Six-time host and "Black-ish" star Anthony Anderson told Variety on Wednesday that he hopes to see the controversial actor there.

“I hope he wins," Anderson added. "I’m happy for him that the system worked for him in his favor because the system isn’t always fair, especially for people of color. So I’m glad it worked out for him."

USA TODAY has reached out to a representative for Smollett in regards to his attendance.

This is the fourth consecutive year Smollett has been nominated in the Image Awards' Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category. He previously won in that category in 2017 and has also nabbed three different music-related Image Awards for his work on "Empire," according to IMDb. He's been in attendance for the last three award shows.

“It’s not my place or any other person’s place to judge him or what not, but I’m glad the he’s nominated," Anderson concluded. "I hope he wins because I’d be interested to hear his speech.”

Like Obama he deserves a Nobel peace prize for exposing and standing up to racist attacks like he has.

He’s such a hero.

The NAACP is nothing but 100% hate whitey. No surprise they’re embracing this fraud.

Why stop there? Why not give Smollett the Nobel Peace Prize as well? After all, this guy got one for hoaxing.

NAACP promotes black victimhood. By absolving smollett of his crime, they are putting the blame back on Whitey. They have a long history of blaming Whitey for their self-inflicted failures.
NAACP has raked in millions off of it.

I'd say a critical mass, for the first time in history.

Reminds me of when OJ was acquitted and rooms full of Bell-Curve-left-siders erupted in celebration.

The Left continues to pour dirt on their own grave. I say we just sit back and let them.

Oh, and by the way, how come we haven’t heard a word about how this creep Smollett tried to malign every Trump voter in the country??? No one, not D (of course not) nor R, has labeled this a reverse hate crime against white MAGA voters. No, they say that Smollett’s motive was to gain a better paycheck and fame. BS! Can anyone imagine if a prominent White Republican, who tweeted hateful remarks about Obama voters, staged a crime committed by blacks (who were really white)? This entire episode stinks to high heaven.
