In his directorial debut with ‘Creed III’, Michael B. Jordan has achieved both box office success and positive reviews from critics and fans alike. Despite the challenges historically faced by films like ‘Creed III” in gaining awards recognition, the landscape appears more receptive now. The film differs from Jordan’s initial portrayal of the title role in Ryan Coogler’s ‘Creed’ in 2015.

The Creed franchise, now in its third installment, continues to defy expectations, proving itself as a worthy spin-off to the iconic Rocky series. ‘Creed III’ maintains this trend, offering a logical progression from its predecessor, Creed II, while drawing influences from both Sylvester Stallone‘s Rocky III and Rocky V. For that reason, it has garnered many nominations in this year’s NAACP Image Awards.

The nominees for the ’55th NAACP Image Awards’ have been officially revealed by the NAACP, and streaming giants Netflix and Amazon are leading the pack with 55 and 27 nominations, respectively. The winners of these prestigious awards will be announced during a two-hour live TV special scheduled to air on Saturday, March 16, 2024.

To add an interactive element, the public has the opportunity to vote for their favorites in select categories by visiting www.naacpimageawards.net. The voting period is open until February 24, allowing fans to have a say in the outcome of the ’55th NAACP Image Awards.’ Creed III received 7 nominations and surprised a lot of fans. The news was revealed on the film’s official account and Jordon’s who shared the news on his Instagram stories.
