that has to be the best acceptance speech i've ever seen.
usually the gorls get up there and TRY to give a humble, prolific tea. she just did it so effortlessly.
and i love the fact that they preceded her entrance to the stage with the fact that she graduated from Juliard.

i can't help but to wonder about the comment she made about taraji's, halle's, gabrielle, etc.
all of them seem to fit into a certain category of black women...the "pretty" black woman...more exotic, or light-skindedededed, etc.

I don't wanna assume but I think she pretty much meant they helped open the door. and showed that black people are not just dark skinned with tightly coiled hair. we come in varieties.

am i the only one who got that from her speech? maybe i'm digging too deeply.
if that was her gist it was extremely honest of her.

she named all  of the black actress who are currently starring in primetime television shows.

taraji - empire, halle - extant, kerry - scandal, meagan - minority report, gabrielle - being mary jane

black women are kind of winning rn  hopes this translates over to film

got it. that's what threw me off.

I didn't know that halle and megan were still active. so i assumed there was another theme involved.

[yummy]

there's always seemed to be a tightly knit sisterhood between black woman in hollywood and viola expressed that.

reminded me of when halle thanked vivica fox and jada pinkett during her oscar speech

wow.

Yeah, honestly I wouldn't expect someone like Viola to thank Megan.
Just goes to show how empathetic and supportive they are to one another.

speech reminded me of that tumblr post with different interviews of Taraj, Viola and I think Octavia Spencer complaining and not being able to find good roles even after an Oscar and then a quote from Kirsten Stewart saying all she has to do is snap her fingers to get a role and that she can't deal with the stress of being offered all these roles.

pressure! can't deal! woe is me!

but in all fairness, that is her world. she can only speak of her experiences, just as our women can only speak of theirs.

sdkjddddddddd

I'm screaming they swooped in quickly and made it about all woman

I bet Charlize was itching to pull that South African card.

"But I'm South African!"

[Sinpool]

I'll never forget though. The first time I was on a film set they were practically begging extras to show up but my white friend came and told me that he was going to invite another one of our friends but they told them to invite more white girls cause too many black girls showed up.

mmmmmm

She checked Charlize's bullshit real quick.

Like hun, I'm very well aware of the image I project. But thanks.
ssss

But I can see why Charlize interjected, as a female. She took Viola's self comparison to Halle as an implication that she was not as beautiful. When that's not what she meant. There is a difference between beautiful and "beautiful". Which Viola seems very well educated on. So No need to patronize her , hun.

I kinda felt some way, but then again not because she was the ONLY person who won that they mentioned went to a prestigious conservatory for college as if that solidifies her position or talent as a black woman.

Then again it is Juilliard & they birth the best of the best, but had Kevin Spacey (also a Juilliard alum) won would that had been announced?
