Only 1 woman of color has won the Oscar for Best Leading Actress in 95 years. Halle Berry for Monster’s Ball in 2002, 21 years ago. 14 Black women, one child of color have been nominated in 95 years. Numbers don’t lie. 1954- Dorothy Dandridge for Carmen Jones. 1972- Cicely Tyson for Sounder. 1972- Diana Ross for Lady Sings the Blues. 1974- Diahann Carroll for Claudine. 1985- Whoopi Goldberg for The Color Purple. 1993- Angela Bassett for What’s Love Got to Do with It. 2001- Halle Berry for Monster’s Ball. 2009- Gabourey Sidibe for Precious. 2011- Viola Davis for The Help. 2012- Quvenzhane Wallis for Beasts of the Southern Wild. 2016- Ruth Negga for Loving. 2019- Cynthia Erivo for Harriet. 2020- Andra Day for The United States vs. Billie Holliday. 2020- Viola Davis for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. The fact, Chinonye Chukwu’s beautifully made, historically relevant and important film, Till and The Woman King got no nominations speaks volumes. Till about a mother whose horrific loss sparked the civil rights movement. Representation matters, and the Academy failed again to recognize powerful Black female lead films with uncomfortable truths. #oscars2023 #lackofrepresentation #till #chinonyechukwu #dorothydandridge #carmenjones #cicelytyson #sounder #dianaross #ladysingstheblues #diahanncarroll #claudine #whoopigoldberg #thecolorpurple #angelabassett #whatslovegottodowithit #halleberry @halleberry #gaboureysidibe #precious @violadavis #violadavis #quvenzhanéwallis #beastsofthesouthernwild @iamquvenzhane #ruthnegga #loving #cynthiaerivo @cynthiaerivo #harriet #andraday #theusvsbillieholiday #violadavis #maraineysblackbottom #danielledeadwylersnubbed https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn2BYEru8Jw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

RIP to this Queen 👑 We also lost the infamous and glamorous, Dorothy Dandridge on this day in 1965. She may have passed more than 50 years ago but she broke glass ceilings for women such as Halle Berry, Angela Bassett, Nia Long and even Diahann Carrol, who in turn have helped create even more Black actresses with more opportunities today. One of the Grandmothers of Black Actresses. #DorothyDandridge, also referred to as the "Black Marilyn Monroe" was the most popular actress of color in Hollywood in the 1950's. She's the first #Black woman to ever be nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards (Oscars). That infamous lead role in the film "Carmen Jones" made her a legend. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio. Her father was #European #British & #AfricanAmerican. Her mother was African American, her family being from #Jamaica. Family rumors claimed she had #Spanish #Mexican & #NativeAmerican ancestry too. True or not, Dorothy acknowledged her heritage by saying “If I am in any way a symbol, it stems from my being a #mixed American. The melting pot characteristics are written into my features.” She states this in her autobiography called Everything and Nothing. To me, the title has more than one meaning. She was more than one thing to many people all at the same time. 🖤🎬🏴🏳️ #rip #ripdorothydandridge #actress #dorothyjeandandridge #marilynmonroe #carmenjones #halleberry #introducingdorothydandridge (at 1950s Glam) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiRQESVutE5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's August 31st, 2022, the second annual ✊🏿 International Day for People of African Descent. The United Nations had already proclaimed 2015-2024 as the International Decade for People of African Descent, but in its wisdom additionally created this annual day of observance to ensure we continue to honour the contributions of the African diaspora around the world long after this decade is over.
If you believe your life's purpose is to make the world a better place, then it's your duty as a Human Being to join the United Nations, not only in words, but in actions, as we strongly condemn the continuing violent practices and excessive use of force by law enforcement agencies against Africans and people of African descent and the institutional racism embedded in criminal justice systems around the world. We must acknowledge to ourselves and to future generations that the Transatlantic Slave Trade was one of the darkest chapters in our human history. We must uphold human dignity and equality for the victims of slavery and colonialism – in particular descendants of the African diaspora. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Cloud Atlas (2012)
Tumblr media
I'd much rather see an ambitious film than a safe one. If it doesn't all work, Cloud Atlas takes so many risks you have to admire it.
The film is divided into many storylines with key actors playing multiple roles. In one story, Tom Hanks might be a kind reporter, in another a sleazy, money-grubbing apothecary. Hugo Weaving plays a woman overseeing a nursing home and later, a demonic force in a post-apocalyptic future. Halle Berry is seen as a journalist in 1973, an Asian scientist, and an Indian party guest. Everyone plays different genders, ages, and ethnicities in a tale that explores how people’s actions in the past affect those of the future.
Directors Lana Wachowski, Tom Tykwer, and Lilly Wachowski have made a lot of bold moves with this picture. First, it follows dozens of characters and storylines that aren't connected in obvious ways. A book or movie mentioned in one story might be referenced as inspiration for the actions of another character. Blink and often, you’ll miss it. Next, the idea of reincarnation (a complex one) is made visual by having actors and actresses play multiple roles. Often it’s very convincing thanks to extensive makeup. You won't even realize this person played that certain background role until you read the end credits. There are also times when it isn’t quite seamless (It appears to be much easier to make a white person look like they’re from Seoul than a black woman appear white) but I applaud the effort. One of the best stories is set in a post-disaster, post-apocalyptic world. It's clear the language they speak evolved from English so you can catch bits and pieces of what they’re saying and get a sense of what’s going on, but there are no subtitles and no one "translates" for you.
Cloud Atlas is more than a technical curiosity or an experiment. It's a series of compelling stories. Each could’ve been its own movie. Put together like this, they make a symphony that's a joy to make sense of. This is a thinking person’s movie. The way these stories are connected is not obvious. The way they’ll conclude is not predictable and, in some cases do not end happily ever after. It’s long, but that running time allows you to immerse yourself in the story. By the time you get to the end, you’ve forgotten what was at the very beginning, making it feel like a circle of birth and rebirth that needs to be seen multiple times to be truly understood.
I can’t wait to see what filmmakers and storytellers Cloud Atlas will inspire in 15 or 20 years. Who will be inspired by the brave choices in Cloud Atlas, what ideas and techniques will they make their own? It’s a bit uneven. The tone between the retirement home story varies so much from the horrors of future Seoul that you'll suffer from whiplash. If you’re a fan of cinema or just want to see something different, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Even if it ultimately isn’t the type of film you fall in love with, you’ll hold Cloud Atlas close to your heart for the way it goes all-out. (Theatrical version on DVD, February 3, 2017)
