Halle Berry says Oscars not designed for black female actors ‘so we have to stop coveting them’
The only black female actor to have won the leading actress award was speaking on documentary Number One on the Call Sheet along with Taraji P Henson and Whoopi Goldberg
Halle Berry has said she now believes her historic Oscars in 2002, for Monster’s Ball, was an anomaly, and that fellow black female actors should therefore stop “coveting” Academy Awards. Berry adds that she felt the tide would turn in 2021, when both Andra Day and Viola Davis were nominated, for The United States vs. Billie Holiday and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom respectively. The documentary also features Taraji P Henson and Whoopi Goldberg expressing amazement over the dearth of leading actress winners – and nominees.
