The Black Reel Awards annually honor African-Americans in feature, independent, and television film. The awards also take notice of the work in film by people of color throughout the African Diaspora. The awards were launched in 2000, and this is the 15th year the awards will be handed out. The Black Reel Awards are now given out by the Foundation for the Advancement of African-Americans in Film (FAAAF).
The 15th Annual Black Reel Awards winners were announced on Friday, February 20, 2015. The Black Reel Awards are comprised of more than 60 voters across the country. The voters annually select and spotlight films and performances featuring African-Americans, as well as people of color throughout the African Diaspora.
Selma won 8 awards, tying the film with last year's 12 Years a Slave for the most Black Reel Award wins in a single year.
