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 16th 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 nominations for the 17th Annual Black Reel Awards were announced December 14, 2016. The Black Reel Awards are comprised of more than 110 voters across the country. The voters annually select and spotlight films, television, and music and performances featuring African-Americans, as well as people of color throughout the African Diaspora. The 17th Annual Black Reel Awards winners were announced on Thursday, February 16, 2017.
