Halle Berry Reflects on Oscar Disappointment

Halle Berry expressed her ongoing disappointment that, 22 years after her historic win for Best Actress at the Oscars, she remains the only Black woman to receive the award. In a recent interview with Marie Claire, she stated, 'I'm still eternally miffed that no Black woman has come behind me for that best actress Oscar,' emphasizing that there have been deserving candidates like Andra Day and Viola Davis who have yet to win. Berry reflected on her win for 'Monster’s Ball' in 2002, where she hoped it would open doors for more Black actresses, but instead feels it has not led to significant change in representation. She acknowledged that while she is saddened by the lack of wins for Black actresses, she values a thriving career over accolades. Berry's sentiments highlight the ongoing conversation about diversity and recognition in Hollywood. As she continues her career, she remains hopeful for future advancements for women of color in the industry.
