HOLLYWOOD STILL HAS A FEW KINKS
BY: THE CEO
So the oscars were on again(yawn). Another blackout year for spectacular performances from Tarji Henson and Viola Davis, and what do they get..how many awards..zero. Its the same show every year. The same song and dance. Have we really come that far Black Hollywood. Cuba Gooding Jr. tried to make light of blackface?! WTF?! Its hard out here to compete with a Joker that really put his life into the role. Who's to say that Beyonce singing and dancing with Hugh"Wolverine" Jackman isn't how we're represented best at the Oscars, but this is not true. Beyonce and Jackman gave great performances singing and dancing, but I'd like to see more statues go to Black women who have put their heart and soul into roles that they lived and breathed life into for that 120 minutes.
The Oscars is the same every year, but once in a while they will let the urban audience get a gold guy. Its really a regression to the old days of "Gone with the wind". The performance in Benjamin Button, that Ms. Henson gave was amazing and Viola Davis was great in her performance. Hollywood, you have your moment to shine, with the little gold guy. What I'm waiting for is someone to come up with an awards show that will truly give credit to actors and actresses who tirelessly fight against a system that they know is unfair. Its a hard road "Black Hollywood", but we thank you for your continued efforts to CHANGE the system.
