At Saturday's 37th annual NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles, the racially charged "Crash" received the best picture award and Terrence Howard won best supporting actor for his role as a pimp-turned-rapper in "Hustle & Flow."

The awards show, hosted by actor Cuba Gooding Jr. , honors the achievement of African Americans in film, television and music.

"Crash" bested nominees that included "Hustle & Flow" and "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," while Mariah Carey's "Emancipation of Mimi" took the prize for best album.

"To me, the dream is that [black entertainers] can be paid to be mediocre, just like white people," said comedian Chris Rock . The awards will air March 3 on Fox.
