Nominees for the 50th NAACP Image Awards will be announced tomorrow, Wednesday, February 13th beginning at 9:15 AM PT, right here on Twitter and via Instagram. Tag a friend.
That's when they were announced, but the nominees had been selected before then. Either way it was before it became clear it was a hoax... the nominees were anounced only a couple of weeks after the alleged attack.

I am very curious to see if he wins though. LMAO

Didn't know if this was posted yet:

UPDATE: “Empire” Has Lost 2 Million Viewers This Season, Most of Them Gone Since Jussie Smollett Scandal

Quote:
Wednesday night’s episode of “Empire” on Fox continued to be a ratings disaster. The show scored just 3.968 million viewers, the lowest number ever.

This comes after last week’s episode fell to 3.982 million, at that time the lowest rating for the show.

Jussie will claim viewing is down because he's no longer on the show.

Gloria Schmidt, an attorney who worked with the Osundairo brothers, says she agrees with Chicago Mayor Emanuel, that it's "an embarrassment" that charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped. She adds the state attorney was "uncourteous" for not giving her clients a warning.

You do need to turn up the volume on the link if you wish to listen, apologies in advance for Don Lemon's frowning face.

Here's a nice clue as to why all charges were mysteriously dropped in this case. Queue up the video to the 1:20 minute mark and listen to what the mayor of Chicago is saying. He's blaming Trump for the reason Smollett initiated, planned, and executed his racist fueled attack hoax by Pro-Trump / Republican people. I bet this is the reasoning that at least played a significant role in all charges being dropped. See, I told you. Trump is the white man, made him do it. Trump set the stage, wannabe actor Smollett was simply just playing the part.

But wait, I thought he claimed the hoax was perpetrated to increase his visibility and thus his pay on Empire?

Or was that the original hoax with the letter and the ibuprofen?

Can we get our stories straight here I'm trying to follow along!

He's looking for a job and pandering to the Dems. If you're going to go after a gay black man, even if he's a criminal and lying piece of trash, you better show your allegiance to the party somehow. This was Rahm's way of doing that, just in case anyone doesn't like the fact that he's going after Jussie.
