Patrik-Ian Polk Jumps to an Image Award Nom
Wednesday, January 28, 2009 - 12:41pm by Sarah
Gay auteur Patrik-Ian Polk just nabbed an NAACP Image Award nomination for his direction of Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom. He's in good company: Spike Lee, Tyler Perry, Gina Prince-Bythewood and Darnell Martin are also nominated, but Polk is the only one with an LGBT film.
The 40th NAACP Image Awards, hosted by Halle Berry and Tyler Perry, airs live on Fox Feb. 12.
Good luck, Patrik!
