Kerry Washington is coming for that Oscar in 2013.

I was just watching her in season 2 of United States of Tara.

I can't wait to watch this biopic.

That's dumbest thing I've ever heard. And I can say I have never ran into anyone who has thought that before

People can "consider" whatever the hell they want. She is and will always be recognized as the first African American actress honored with the Best Actress Academy Award and those who don't think she is "black enough" will always have to deal

I agree with you. I'm just saying that many people don't look past the fact that she has a white mother.

Halle was a co-lead in her movie. The film wasn't about her.

This will be the first time a BLACK actress wins for a film that is ALL ABOUT HER. Like Meryl won for The Iron Lady, Natalie for Black Swan, Sandra for The Blind Side, Marion for La Vie En Rose ...

... get what I'm saying?

Didn't even cross my mind. I was talking about how the main POV in Monster's Ball is Billy Bob Thorton's.

I'm all for LEAD and not co-lead/borderline supporting roles winning in LEAD actress. It forces Hollywood to make more movies ABOUT WOMEN.

Thanks for clearly this up. I thought you were pointing out that other thing. lol

Oscars aren't going to change that.

Only one thing will:

No I don't. A lead is a lead, despite how much the film is all about her. The Iron Lady DOESN'T star ONLY Meryl. Black Swan DOESN'T star only Natalie. The Blind Side DOESN'T star only Sandra. Monster's Ball is just as much as a lead as the female characters in those films. It may not have been her own headlining film but she is the female lead. Get what I'm saying?

And have you seen Monster's Ball? The movie was devoted to only Halle and Billy the WHOLE time.

Also I'm not trying to argue. Talk to me about Nicole Kidman winning Best Actress for her short amount of screen time in The Hours, when she was just as good and even better in Moulin Rouge and I may want to

She would be a better choice than Mary J. Blige.

Not too much Vio, it's Beyoncé's oscar

Didn't you all think the same thing before Dreamgirls came out?

This sounds great! And Viola would win for playing an empowered black woman, instead of a maid.

She is a great actress.

Many people are stupid. Just because she's light skinned doesn't mean she isn't black. Or is Beyonce now not legitimately black because she's so light skinned?

Dear Lord!

Where's the lie?
