Oscar nominees diverse again
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - It had never happened before, three African-American performers nominated in the lead-acting categories for the Academy Awards. Surely, it was a sign that Hollywood's top honors finally were catching up with the nation's cultural diversity.
That was for 1972, though. It took 29 years for it to happen again — with Halle Berry in Monster's Ball, Will Smith in Ali and Denzel Washington in Training Day setting nominations for 2001.
Rarely a standard-bearer for racial inclusion, the Oscars offer possibly their highest profile ever for African-American performers next month.
Besides the three acting nominations, Whoopi Goldberg, one of only two African-American women to win an acting Oscar, returns as host. Sidney Poitier, the only African American to earn a lead-acting Oscar, receives an honorary award for lifetime achievement.
African-American advocates like the lineup for the Oscars on March 24 but hesitate to say it marks a turning point for an awards ceremony traditionally dominated by white performers.
Some say it could be an anomaly, a rare year such as
1972 that produced three Oscar-worthy performances by African Americans.
"It's progress, but no net gain. In a sense, we're where we were in 1972. It's taken us 50 years to get to that point again," said Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "It's too early to say this represents a trend. I'd be curious to see what happens next year or the year after."
"Let's see some kind of track record before I start jumping up and down," said Frank Smith Jr., acting board president of the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame.
Of 278 acting Oscars awarded since 1929, only six — 2.2 percent — were won by African Americans, among them Hattie McDaniel (supporting actress for Gone With the Wind); Goldberg (supporting actress for Ghost); Washington (a five-time Oscar nominee who won supporting actor for Glory); Poitier (best actor for Lilies of the Field); Cuba Gooding Jr. (best supporting actor for Jerry Maguire) and Louis Gossett Jr. (best supporting actor for An Officer and a Gentleman).
In three of the last four years, no African Americans were nominated in the four acting categories.
