Variety exclusively revealed the robust soundtrack that includes songs from Cardi B and Saweetie. The best shot for the Netflix feature on the awards circuit will be in the original song race. Her recognitions seem to be coming in 10-year spurts. Berry received her second and last nomination for “Frankie and Alice” (2011). Viola Davis is the only Black woman to be nominated twice in lead she and Berry share the same distinction in the lead actress drama category at the Golden Globes. We should demand more selections and choices for the Oscars to pull from, rather than entirely blame the group.
The absence of women of color in leading roles has been a continuous stain that Hollywood has trouble ridding. Alongside Berry, Jennifer Hudson (“Respect”) and Tessa Thompson (“Passing”), who has received a Gotham nom, are in the running. In the “conventional” selections that the Academy often chooses, there isn’t a deep bench of Black women contending for best actress. So, although noteworthy, Berry appearing in the DGA Awards’ first-time director category is not very far-fetched. Some filmmakers like Barbra Streisand have come close with films like “Yentl” (1983) and the best picture nominee “The Prince of Tides” (1991), but an acting nomination hasn’t come to pass.
For comparison, there have been ten instances of men doing it in Oscar history. No female director has ever directed themselves to an Oscar nomination for acting. This is something the actors’ branch tends to appreciate. Fearless as she dives into a character, Berry explores Jackie’s physicality and the profession of MMA fighting itself. In probably her most challenging and authoritative work as an actress since “Monster’s Ball” (2001), Berry shows that at 55 years old, she still harnesses the talent and enthusiasm to take on any role or story she’s excited about. Written by debut screenwriter Michelle Rosenfarb, “Bruised” tells the story of Jackie Justice, a disgraced MMA fighter that seeks redemption once the son that she abandoned reenters her life. Halle Berry, the sole Black woman to win the best actress Oscar in 93 years, has unveiled her directorial debut film “ Bruised” at the AFI Film Festival, showcasing a commitment and skill that only the very best actors in the world can harness.
