Well, fame and wealth aren't bad consolations.
Moreover, women in general have lamented the
want of good roles.

[i.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they should be happy they got any roles at all.

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't go that far.
But Oscars, man, that ain't trivial!
That's the top of the heap.

And Twelve Years a Slave gets bonus points for being one of, if not the first slave movie told entirely from the pov of the slave. Usually in these kind of stories, it's all about some white person dealing with slaves, rather than about the people actually enslaved

And how it's such a commendable journey when the white person frees the slave(s).

Love the "tides goes in, tide goes out, you can't explain that" icon you got there.

It seemed the best way to indicate my sarcasm.

So which black actresses should have won who didn't, and for what roles?

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

Do you mean to say you think black women shouldn't be so typecast?

2014: crazy white lady
2013: crazy white lady
2012: Margaret Thatcher
2011: crazy white lady


Not sure it's just black women who are stereotyped...

Soooo you think 2012 was different?

[anfalicious.livejournal.com]

I am importing no moral consideration upon my information ;)

[i.livejournal.com]

yeah, and 6 out of 86 is all good.

[anfalicious.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't realise that was at issue here. It's not perfect, but it's not wildly out of proportion with demographics.

FTR I was more interested in what the comparison to men would be like. Is it just that Hollywood has issues with women?

[404.livejournal.com]

I thought that Hollywood was the most compassionate and socially aware segment of society; they are always giving donation dinners for Liberals and Obama! How could they be racist!?!

[i.livejournal.com]

Your thinking was in error.

[404.livejournal.com]

Well you sure corrected the error in my ways!
