Halle Berry Is ‘Eternally Miffed’ That She’s Still the Only Black Woman to Win the Best Actress Oscar: ‘I’m Continually Saddened by That Year After Year’


Halle Berry remains the only Black woman to ever win the Oscar for best actress.

Halle Berry continues to be disappointed with the Oscars as she remains the only Black performer to ever win the Academy Award for best actress. Speaking to Variety a few years ago, Berry also cited Cynthia Erivo in “Harriet” and Ruth Negga in “Loving” as other Oscar-worthy performances by Black women. Berry added to Variety that her win remained “one of my biggest heartbreaks” as it never opened up a door for more Black women at the Oscars as she proclaimed during her acceptance speech.
