Black Reel Awards for Television
# Black Reel Awards for Television

The Black Reel Awards for Television, or "BRATs", is an annual American awards ceremony hosted by the Foundation for the Augmentation of African-Americans in Film (FAAAF) to recognize excellence of African-Americans, as well as the television achievements of the African diaspora, in the global television industry, as assessed by the Foundation's voting membership. The various category winners are awarded a copy of a statuette, officially called the Black Reel Award. The awards, first presented in 2017 in Washington, D.C., are overseen by FAAAF.

The BRATs, a spin-off of the Black Reel Awards or BRAs was announced on via its website on June 5, 2017. The inaugural "BRATs" consisted of 25 categories focusing primarily on dramas, comedies, as well as movies/limited series. The award will honor African-Americans and those of African descent performers as well as those working in various aspects of network and cable television production. The Television Movie and Television Documentary categories, which were previously honored at the BRAs were moved to the BRATs.
