Halle Berry: It's Hard to Get Roles as a Woman of Color

Halle Berry talks about Oscar and  black women difficulty in getting movie role.
Berry, who gave a memorably emotional speech accepting her award for Monster's Ball, spoke to The Guardian about the lack of opportunities for black women in Hollywood, and her thoughts on the Oscar.
"I’m disappointed," she told the publication of the lack of subsequent black Best Actress winners. "I’m inspired though, when I see how many people of color are doing such good work out there.

"The quality and value of our work isn’t determined by an award," Berry, 48, added. "I would like to see more of them recognized, absolutely, but we all need to find the win in the work, and doing our craft. The real win is when we’re not just selling stories of color, that people of color can be in everyday stories. Where we’re not saying: 'These are the movies for black people.'"
