The Black Reel Awards nominations were voted on by over 100 movie and television critics across the nation from December 12-15, 2006. Winners for the Theatrical, Independent and Television categories will be announced February 7, 2007 and will be broadcast in late February on the Black Family Channel.

The Black Reel Awards are presented by the Foundation for the Advancement of African-Americans in Film, a nonprofit organization with a mission to target, identify and prepare candidates who will represent the next generation of filmmakers and potential film executives that will be able to provide a different sensibility to the stories currently told onscreen.

FAAAF seeks to provide educational opportunities to this next generation of filmmakers and studio executives through two programs, Reel Kids and the Producer’s Institute. Both programs will provide scholarships opportunities to minority junior high, high school and college graduate students who pursue a business career in the movie and television industries.
