Roy Wood Jr. to Host 14th Annual AAFCA Awards

The 14th Annual African American Film Critics Association Awards are coming next month. Today, it was announced that none other than Roy Wood Jr. would be the host of the show. Combined with his hosting duties at the 2023 White House Correspondents dinner in April, the AAFCA continues a strong run for the comedian.

Here is the press release with the announcement:

The African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA) has announced that Comedian and Emmy®-nominated Documentary Producer Roy Wood Jr. (The Neutral Ground and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) will host the 14th Annual AAFCA Awards on March 1st at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Fresh off the recent announcement that Wood will host the annual White House Correspondents dinner in April, 2023 is turning into a banner year for the in-demand comedian.
 
Winners of this year’s AAFCA Awards include “The Woman King” for Best Picture with Gina Prince-Bythewood for Best Director, ”The Inspection” star Jeremy Pope for Best Actor, “Till” star Danielle Deadwyler for Best Actress, as well as “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star Angela Bassett for Best Supporting Actress and Brian Tyree Henry for Best Supporting Actor for “Causeway”.
