Star Trek: The Next Generation will be well represented at the 33rd NAACP Image Awards being handed out this weekend (February 23). "Star Trek: Nemesis" castmates LeVar Burton (Geordi La Forge) and Whoopi Goldberg (Guinan) are vying for honors, along with two guest stars from the TNG franchise.

Goldberg is up for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture for her work in the African-American ensemble comedy "Kingdom Come." She is competing with Alfre Woodard (Lily Sloane in "Star Trek: First Contact"), who is vying for the same award for her role in the sort-of-sci-fi film "K-PAX." (Last year Woodard won the Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for "Love & Basketball.")

Burton repeats his Image Award nomination from 2001, Outstanding Performance in a Youth or Children's Series/Special, for being the host of the PBS show Reading Rainbow. (Last year Woodard was also nominated in that category, but they both lost to Bill Cosby.)

Reading Rainbow, which Burton is executive producer of, itself is nominated for Outstanding Youth or Children's Series/Special. Another show he is involved with behind the scenes is also honored with a nomination — Showtime's Soul Food, on which Burton works as a director, is up for Outstanding Drama Series (as is Boston Public starring Jeri Ryan).

Another TNG alumnus is also a repeat nominee. Renée Jones (Lt. Aquiel Uhnari in "Aquiel") is again trying to win Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama Series for her work on Days of Our Lives.

The awards ceremony will take place at the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on Saturday, February 23. The show will air Friday, March 1, at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on the Fox network.

Founded more than 30 years ago during a meeting in the home of Sammy Davis Jr., the NAACP Image Awards honor projects and individuals of all races who have helped promote positive images of people of color.
