Of the 2015 Academy Awards, dubbed #OscarsSoWhite because no actors of color were nominated, Berry said, “It was one of my lowest professional moments… I sat there and I thought, wow, that moment really meant nothing. It meant nothing. I thought it meant something but I think it meant nothing.”

It really is sad. Shows what she did wasn't worth it at all. They just wanted you to take you clothes off and fukk, they didn't give a shyt about the people behind you trying to break in to the Academy Award winner circle or any of your personal goals in regards to other blacks. Hollywood has their own set of rules

 

[King Frost]

Why don't the black people in Hollywood come together and make their own award show?

 

[Archangel]

What did you expect? You getting awarded for playing a whore is supposed to usher in change in Hollywood? You have to be kidding me.

 

[Unknown Poster]

yea, this was going to do wonders for diversity in Hollywood, Halle....

 

[SmokyQuartz]

Halle Berry has enough money and influence to start her own damn Hollywood so she should get on that .

She doesn't understand that this was the reason those white men gave her the award.

 

[Diondon]

Didn't it make her feel good?

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Stupid wench

How many wake up calls she had?

Bushed for life.

They'd never allow anything like that..they can deal with the prospering business intrigues of a Tyler Perry or an Oprah Winfrey because they work within the same vein and can be controlled.

Of course it didn't. They give out these awards to shut us up. I don't know why people put so much stock into that bullshyt. Black people don't even have to win, just to be nominated is enough for some. The community is placated. All this fukked up shyt is happening, the powers that be are like "ok guys, let's make a black superhero on Netflix, that should shut them up".


I never let a statue tell me how nice I am
