Notes
- ^ Although there is no mention of a President's Award for this year on the official NAACP Image Awards website,[7] nor in any archived press releases from that period,[8] many online sources from 2014 state that Donald Sterling received the President's Award in either 2008[9] or 2009.[10] It is unclear if this was an award from a local chapter or a national Image Award.
