And who said the NAACP Image Awards couldn't be pulled off live?

For the first time in the show's 38 year history, the Image Awards were held and televised live on Fox.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was holding their breath that nobody acted a fool or did anything to have Fox regret this decision but the show went off flawlessly.

Compared to the marathon Oscars last Sunday, the two hours flew by it seemed like.

Rap legend LL Cool J hosted the awards and even with a disclaimer at the top of the show explaining he has never done this before, he still managed to do a good job.

No jokes. No comedy. No shucking and jiving. He said his lines and got out of the way - as any good host should do.

As for the star of the show, it was without a doubt Bono. The lead singer of U2 received the NAACP's Chairman Award and took the crowd to church with his compelling and touching speech about eliminating poverty in the world.
