I just watched Boomerang again and naw, Robin Givens looked better than Halle Berry

My complexion is irrelevant, his comment was just ignorant. I'm more offended by him using me being Jamaican as an insult. That's not cool.

I already told you I like my women a bit harsh :youngsabo:

I was like a year old but I still don't think it got her as much attention as you think.
It got her everything she has now. It started her entire career. Miss teen USA. To first runner up in miss America. To tv. To movies. To a damn oscar

She never went to acting school. She never grew up acting. She was just fine as hell. And still is. Since 1985

does it show by her being the first black woman to win an oscar

or by her currently being the highest paid black actress in hollywood

that would be like me joining the nfl tomorrow and being a super bowl champ with the highest paid qb contract out

No she wasn't the first black actress to win an oscar.

Her being best paid doesn't mean her acting is great. It's not. Will Smith was the highest paid black actor at one point, does that make him a great actor? Nope.

Will smith wasn't higher paid than Denzel. Denzel been getting 20 million a film. Will grosses the most tho

I'm sorry you're right. First black actress to win best female actress. As in lead oscar. Not some back up shyt

Look I'm not saying she god. But we trying to compare her to robin fukking givens. Then people came in trying to act like "why is she even considered top 10"

Cause she been one of the finest black women in Hollywood since the 80s. She's one of the finest black women in Hollywood in 2014. She still the highest paid which gotta mean something. And she won an oscar in a lead role. First black woman to do it. And she never took 1 class. That's pretty fukking amazing no matter how you slice it

You're right her looks have taken her far and as a result She has gotten more roles than most black women because of racist Hollywood and she's definitely better looking than Robin Givens.

Will Smith was the highest paid actor during the height of his career.

wasn't that one of the aspects of the movie though, for Halle to be/look like the wholesome around the way girl? Halle was toned down in this movie, no discredit to Robin though :whew:
