Black
at the
Part two

While February is Black History
Month, it is also when the
Academy Award nominations are
announced.
As mentioned last week, Hattie
McDaniel was the first black
Oscar nominee and winner, both
honors due to her role in 1939's
"Gone with the Wind." However,
she and the next two black actors
to make the Oscar scene, James
Baskette and Ethel Waters, were
typecast as servants throughout
their careers.
But then, in 1955, a black sex
symbol was nominated Best
Actress. And it was the first time
a black competed for one of the
leading actor awards.
Her name was Dorothy
Dandridge, and the all-black
musical "Carmen Jones," in which
she played an amoral "good-time
girl," was the greatest film of her
career.

The title role brought Dandridge
much praise and publicity (she
became the first black to appear on
the cover of Life magazine), but it
also cursed her future. She never
was able to change her screen
image, always being cast as the
femme fatale.
In 1959, Sidney Poitier became
the first black Best Actor
nominee, for "The Defiant Ones,"
which deals with the escape of two
convicts -- Poitier's character and a
white bigot -- who are handcuffed
to each other.
Another black Oscar hopeful was
Juanita Moore, for her supporting
role in "Imitation of Life." In this
lavish 1959 tearjerker, Moore's
character, the maid of a famous
actress, dies after she is rejected by
her light-skinned daughter, who
had left home to pass for white.
In 1964, Poitier once again
found himself an Oscar contender.
This time, he became the first
black to win a leading Oscar, for
his portrayal of an ex-GI who

befriends a group of refugee nuns
in "Lillies of the Field."
Four years later, yet another
Sidney Poitier movie brought an
Oscar nomination to a black. But
Poitier was not the one who was
recognized this time.
The film was "Guess Who's
Coming to Dinner," and it was
about a very controversial issue --
interracial marriage.
Beah Richards played the soft
spoken mother of the groom
(F'oitier) and was nominated Best
Supporting Actress.
Finally, Rupert Crosse was
nominated Best Supporting Actor
for the 1969 adaptation of William
Faulkner's "The Reivers."
Although he had only a few film
roles to his credit, Crosse's bid
was very significant -- blacks had
now been nominated in all four
acting categories.
All the nominations that went
to black actors in the 70's were for
leading roles. That decade and the
next would continue to bring a
variety of Academy-recognized
black portrayals, including those
of a controversial heavyweight, a
sharecropping couple, a legendary
blues singer, a welfare mother, a
tough sergeant, a slain South
African leader, and -- believe it or
not -- a pimp.
