It is shocking and sad that Halle Berry is still the only black actress to win Best Actress

And it isn't as if there was nobody for them to give the oscar to. I'm still bitter Viola David didn't win for The Help, even though Davis has disavowed the movie since, so that Meryl Streep could win her 3rd Oscar for another overrated, mediocre performance in The Iron Lady.

There are folks who bring up Angela Bassett for What's Love Got to Do With It, but nobody was going to beat Holly Hunter for The Piano that year.

And if I'm honest here, I didn't even like Berry in Monster's Ball, I wish she had won the Oscar for Introducing Dorothy Dandridge instead but that got made for TV. But Berry still deserved to win for history.

But we need to see another black actress win Best Actress and hopefully, it will be Cynthia Erivo for Wicked: For Good next year.
