380. Halle Berry is the ONLY actor who ever made bad movies
It's not like Emma Thompson followed her academy award with a movie in which Arnold Schwarzeneger carried a child to term in his manly womb. (Junior)

It's not like Holly Hunter followed her oscar with a movie which featured a man having sex with an open wound. (Crash)

And the men as well ... I'm sure if Dustin Hoffman had followed his Rain Man Oscar with a stinker like, say Dick Tracy it would have totally ruined his career. And it's a good thing that Anthony Hopkins didn't take that roll in the Mick Jagger vehicle Freejack after winning for Silence of the Lambs, or he would have faded into an obviously deserved obscurity.

Anyway ... Halle made a couple of bad films, and we can all be certain that she had dozens more intriguing roles to choose from (since, after all, there has always been such a wealth of interesting roles for African American actresses in Hollywood).

Nope, couldn't have been racism. Had to have been Catwoman :eyes:

Okay, enough sarcasm. It just boggles my mind that the simple and fairly obvious statement that there is racism in Hollywood is met with such disdain and disbelief.
