Lupita Nyongo

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think there will be loads of other roles for her.
I hope so though she is a beauty.

I feel you jones

Hollywood tends to make exceptions for brief moments in time and the definition of insanity would be to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result

We can't expect Hwood to change... let's not go crazy now

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't wanna put out anymore negativity. BUT..... Black women in Hollywood, usually get a one & done type of treatment at the awards.   

For instance they get one year, one role, that is critically acclaimed & all the shows are on their jock sweating them. The Golden Globes, Oscars, SAG, Critics Choice etc. Then they aren't acknowledged or recognized or nominated there after.   We have seen this with Halle, Monique, Gabby Sidibe, the ladies of The Help, Angela Bassett, Taraji Henson, Whoopi,J Hud etc..

Some may have lucked out & gotten a 2nd film that was award worthy, most do not.

Why cant blk women get CONTINUOUS ROLES like Helen Miren, Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep, Katherine Hepburn, etc...


The playing field is NOT even!!
