am a lover good films and over the years have been oppurtuned to watch lovely epic movies and when the academy award nominations come up, i used to wonder how some films ever made it to the top nominations and while some films didn;t.
Over the last five years,a long period after the first black man,Sidney Portier,to win the oscars for best actor,have seen the emergence of Denzel Washington(training day),Jamie Fox(Ray) and now this year Forrest Whittaker(last king of scotland).taking the awards for the best actor in a leading role.not to mention others like Will Smith(Ali) and Terrence Howard(Crash) that have also been in the nomination list for best actor category.
This goes to show that times have changed and honour is been given to whom it deserves without prejudice of colour,tribe or race. am sure it won't be long when the person that would occupy the white house would not necessarily have to be a white person.
If we all just take our minds off judging the cover or container without not seeing or tasting the contents, the world would be a better place to live in.
Cheers!
