    Stars Lend Their Support for One-of-a-Kind Awards Ceremony Honoring

    LOS ANGELES, April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Oscar winning actor Louis

    The NAMIC Vision Awards is the only awards program recognizing the

    The recipient of multiple acting accolades, including Golden Globes,

    science fiction series, "Stargate SG-1." Currently, Gossett is
    developing a nonprofit foundation aimed at creating entertainment
    that promotes education and awareness of issues relating to racism,
    ignorance and societal apathy.

    "I'm honored to work with people, like Lou Gossett who recognize the
    importance of diversity in the cable industry and are lending their
    time by participating in this charitable event, said Holland, "The
    Vision Awards is a show that's about inclusion and I salute the
    talent, cable operators and networks for their commitment to
    diversity."

    Additional presenters confirmed to date include Irene Bedard, Robert
    Gossett, Ernie Hudson, Justina Machado, Kyle Massey, Zahn McClarnon,
    Carlos Mencia, Cesar Milan, Shelly Morrison, Arthel Neville, Gina
    Ravera, Corey Reynolds, Ashley Tisdale and Kym Whitley. Comedian D.L.
    Hughley will host the ceremony, which takes place at Beverly Hills'
    Regent Beverly Wilshire. Emmy winning casting director and producer
    Robi Reed of Robi Reed Entertainment serves as Honorary Chair.

    A record thirty networks are vying for NAMIC Vision Awards, which are
    presented in 11 programming categories. Additionally, NAMIC's most
    coveted honors, the Legacy, North Star and Quasar Awards will be
    presented to Vision Awards founder, Kyle Bowser (Lifetime's "For One
    Night"), Tony Award winning actor and filmmaker, Ruben Santiago-
    Hudson (HBO's "Lackawanna Blues") and Turner Broadcasting System Inc.
    respectively. DiversityInc ranked Turner Broadcasting System at #2 on
    the magazine's 2005 Top 50 Company's for Diversity list.

    "Gossett stars in USA Network's science fiction series, "Stargate SG-1." Um, ok. They sure bungled that one up. Sci-Fi Channel, not USA. And "star" of the show, come on.

      Well...they were close (I know, that only counts with grenades...)

      USA Network IS part of NBC/Universal (along with the SciFi Channel).

      And the press release did state "stars" not 'star of the the show'...

        Indeed! I just think Sci-Fi Channel deserved it's due credit, that's all.
