Halle Berry opens up about her 'sadness' at being the only Black actress to have won Best Actress Academy Award


The Cleveland native won the Best Actress Oscar in 2002 for her work in the 2001 motion picture Monster's Ball.

The Moonfall actress cited a series of nominations she felt should have earned Oscars: Andra Day in 2021's The United States vs. Billie Holiday, and Viola Davis in 2020's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Berry, in an October 2020 chat with Variety, also cited Cynthia Erivo in 2019's Harriet and Ruth Negga in 2016's Loving as performers who deserved Oscars for their respective efforts.
