fter sitting through about 3 hours of pure garbage, I was elated when Jennifer Hudson and Forest Whitaker took home their Oscars. Jennifer won in the Best Supporting Actress category, while Forest Whitaker took it home in the Best Actor category. I’m a big fan of Forest and I’m glad he finally got his props from the acting world.

Here is the list of black Oscar winners from the past:
1939: Hattie McDaniel, Gone with the Wind
1963: Sidney Poitier, Lilies of the Field
1982: Louis Gossett Jr., An Officer and a Gentleman
1989: Denzel Washington, Glory
1990: Whoopi Goldberg, Ghost
1996: Cuba Gooding Jr., Jerry Maguire
2001: Halle Berry, Monster’s Ball
2001: Denzel Washington, Training Day
2004: Jamie Foxx, Ray
2004: Morgan Freeman, Million Dollar Baby

This list does not include winners in the Best Original Song, etc catergories. But damn, you would think more black people would get Oscars! Congrats to J.Hud and Forest!
