For the first time ever, Hall will host the 19th annual award show, joining the likes of Hollywood favorites like, Jamie Foxx, Anthony Anderson, Traces Ellis Ross and Mo’Nique, as the network “celebrates 19 years of creating unforgettable moments, showcasing the present and future of black entertainment while honoring the unsung heroes and icons of the past,” according to a press release.
In addition to hosting, Hall will also compete in this year’s “Best Actress” category, facing off against “Little” co-star Issa Rae, Oscar-Winning actress Regina King, “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson, Comedian Tiffany Haddish and “How To Get Away With Murder” star, Viola Davis.
