Michael Jackson’s Memorial Ceremony Wins an Award

On Friday, February 26, at the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) Awards, the Michael Jackson memorial ceremony—broadcast live last year on July 7 across various TV channels (ABC, BET, CNN, MTV, NBC, ... )—won the Best Presentation (series or special) award for 2009. The inauguration ceremony of U.S. President Barack Obama was a tough rival in this category. Of course, Michael was also nominated in the Best Film category with the documentary and musical This Is It. Source: eMJey / variety.com
