The
Oscars
are
here,
and
many
are
hate
watching
just
for
the
sake
of
complaining
what
actor
of
color
got
jerked.
It
is
what
it
is,
and
sometimes
they
do
get
it
right,
and
here
are
the
Black
actors
we’re
rooting
for
that
actually
won.
After
the
2016
#OscarsSoWhite
hashtag
went
viral,
thanks
to
April
Reign,
the
Academy
took
notice
and
began
to
diversify
its
members.
While
they
may
have
gotten
a
little
better
at
making
sure
actors
of
color
get
their
do,
it’s
not
by
much.
But
here’s
who
won
in
2024,
so
far.
Da’Vine
Joy
Randolph
won
for
Best
Actress
in
a
Supporting
Role
for
her
star-making
turn
at
Mary
Lamb
in
The
Holdovers.
It
is
her
first
Oscar.
Cord
Jefferson’s
American
Fiction
won
for
Best
Adapted
Screenplay.
Splendid.
Ben
Proudfoot
and
Kris
Bowers
won
Best
Documentary
Short
Film
for
The
Last
Repair
Shop.
Big
shout
to
12-year-old
Porché
Brinker
for
representing.
And
that’s
it,
so
far…
And
that’s
all.
Shout
to
David
Alan
Grier
for
holding
down
the
night’s
voiceover
duties,
too.
