Gospel princess’ Mary Mary is the only Gospel song up for an award in the category of “Outstanding Song of the Year” The Awards program celebrates outstanding achievements and performances ranging from music to movies.

Last year Hezekiah Walker, Marvin Sapp, Mary Mary, Regina Belle and Take 6 were nominated for “Outstanding Album of the Year” This year, Shirley Caesar, Vickie Winans, Fred Hammond, BeBe & CeCe Winans and Donnie McClurkin are the nominees in the category.
