(At the 2002 Academy Awards® ceremony, Halle Berry became ...)
At the 2002 Academy Awards® ceremony, Halle Berry became the first black woman to receive the award for Best Actress. As the evening continued, Denzel Washington won Best Actor, and Sidney Poitier received an honorary award, making it an historical night for both African Americans and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. African Americans and the Oscar® profiles these actors as well as all those African Americans who paved the way as nominees or recipients of Hollywood's most prestigious award. Beginning with Hattie McDaniel's award for Best Supporting Actress in 1939 for her role in Gone with the Wind, the book covers all nominees and recipients of the award in either the actor, actress, or director categories. Each entry, organized chronologically and by name, provides valuable information about how the role or film was viewed during its time, and also places it in historical context by drawing connections to other related awards or events in film history. In the introduction, an overview of the nomination process helps explain the historically low percentage of African Americans who have been nominated or received the honor. Also, appendixes provide lists of overlooked performances, non acting/directing nominees and winners, as well as performers of nominated songs. This book is a valuable resource for students of all ages, as well as an inspiring and enlightening history of the African American experience in Hollywood. Includes 8 pages of photos.

At the 2007 Academy Awards® ceremony, an unprecedented number of Black performers received acting nominations, and two of the statues awarded that evening went to Forest Whitaker and Jennifer Hudson. Indeed, since 2000, more African Americans have received Oscars than in the previous century. While the last few years have seen more and more Black performers receive acknowledgment by the Academy, it hasn't always been that way. African Americans and the Oscar®: Decades of Struggle and Achievement highlights the advancements Black performers have made on the silver screen and how those performances were honored by the Academy. In the Academy's first 40 years, less than ten African Americans were cited for their work on screen and only two, Hattie McDaniel and Sidney Poitier, received competitive awards before the 1980s. This book profiles all the nominees and recipients of the coveted award in the acting, writing, and directing categories, beginning with the first: McDaniel's Best Supporting Actress win for her role in Gone with the Wind (1939). Each entry, organized chronologically and by name, provides valuable information about how the role or film was viewed during its time and also places it in historical context by drawing connections to other related awards or events in film history. In the introduction, Mapp's overview of the nomination process helps explain the historically low percentage of African Americans who have been nominated or received the honor. Also, appendixes provide lists of non-acting/directing nominees and winners, overlooked performances, and performers of nominated songs. Highlighting the achievements of Sidney Poitier, Whoopi Goldberg, Halle Berry, Morgan Freeman, Spike Lee, Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington and others, this volume provides an enlightening history of the Black experience in Hollywood and will fascinate fans of all ages.
