Philadelphia was the big winner of the night at the Philadelphia Urban Film Awards (PUFA). We’ve been having a rough two years. PUFA eliminated all negativity and welcomed all positive vibes at the 2022 Philadelphia Urban Film Awards brought to you by Jimmy DaSaint, Uptown Standard, and Monster House.
Hosted by Plex and Roc Star P and holding it down with all the coordination was the amazing Latrice, aka Around the Way Girl.
It was a full house; people peacefully waited in lines, walked the red carpet as Celebrities in the Basement’s Karen Waller Martin and Chubby Chaser’s RedSnaperrr and Son of the 215 interviewed the nominees and celebrities. Fox 29 Philly’s own Sergio Cruel had a line of influential nominees, like Asia Sparks, Rob Schwartz, Black Deniro, and guests waiting for an interview with Sergio for Fox. Sajda Purple Blackwell, running to represent the 10th District, addressed the crowd as she stands for change in West Philly. Jimmy DaSaint clearly brought Hollywood to Philly!
Winners who made history included Tiona Brown, who swept the awards with two wins Best Stage Play ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ and Best Book Author. Councilman David Oh presented the Man of the Year to Nakia Dillard and Female of the Year to Diane Heery; and a special Lifetime Achievement Award went to Shelly Shell Williams.
