The 2009 NAACP Image Awards came to LA's Shrine Auditorium with cohosts Halle Berry and Tyler Perry leading the way. Everyone looked fantastic hitting the red carpet and mingling with old friends during the show — check out all of Fab's love it or hate it polls here. Dakota Fanning chose yet another strapless number but still looked perfectly pretty. Al Gore found his way into a conversation with Will Smith who had his wife for a date. Jennifer Hudson took home the Best New Artist award and said, "Now don't start me to crying again, y'all. It's always an honor to come home and feel welcome and to feel the love."
Rihanna was up for Female Performer of the year, but it was Beyonce who took the prize and also performed at the event. Diddy took home the award for TV Movie Actor while Will Smith and Rosario Dawson both won for Seven Pounds. Best picture went to The Secret Life of Bees — check out all the winners here. Seal performed with the choir, though it was Stevie Wonder who stole the show at his piano and Muhammad Ali who took the stage in a powerful moment.

11I like Rosario Dawson she's a great actress i'm happy she won the award she was awesome in seven pound, she had a great chemistry with will smith on that movie.
12and so gorgeous.
13I'm never been a fan of Beyonce's fashion choices, but she looks really good here. Coral/red is great color on her and it's nice to see her not wearing something that's cutting off her circulation.
14gorgeous
15Dakota looks sweet, but how/why could Diddy win an award for being anything other than a doof?
16oh my gawd look at dakota.. when did she get hot? isn't she like 11?
17Yes! Dakota is hot! She became hot in the last few months. She wears the most beautiful dresses.
