My Bologna Has a First Name..........

It's O-S-C-A-R

Before you even ask, no, I did not watch the Oscars.

However, I am happy as hell that Jamie Foxx and the sexiest old Negro alive, Morgan Freeman, won for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively.

Do I think that Blacks have come a long way in Hollywood? Yes
Do I think that Blacks have a long way to go in Hollywood? Yes

Yesterday's victories in my opinion vindicated the Oscars for that shameless shit that they pulled back in 2002. Awarding Oscars to two actors who have done more credible work than the mess that they received that bald, golden naked man for. Halle Berry did not delivery a knockout performance in Monster's Ball. She screwed Billy Bob Thornton and was a very mean mama. That ain't Oscar worthy. She played a more convincing role in Losing Isaiah, as a drug addicted mother who fights to get her life back on track. I congratulate Halle on becoming the first Black woman to win an Oscar, however, I am ashamed that she had to win it for acting in that bullshit.

Then there's Denzel Washington, a man who is without a doubt one of the best actors, Black or White on the screen today. He's awarded an Oscar for portraying a crooked cop in Training Day.
Was he good? Umm, yeah.
Was it his best performance? Ummm, no.

His portrayal as a weed smoking, adulterous, evil cop was just something different not exceptional. I believe that Denzel could portray a cockroach and give it some depth, but in Training Day, I either failed to see the depth of his character or it just didn't exist. To me, he just delivered one of the most memorable lines I know: "Man up, nigga". Ah, but he did look good as hell though............

In any case, I'm not hating I'm just simply saying, that as Black people, we sometimes we need to look at Quality vs. Quantity in cinema. Yes, I'm happy that a Black actor was given his just due, but I want to make sure that it wasn't for a role that a couple of years down the road that will have he/she look back on and be like "What the fuck was I smoking?"

While I did not watch the Oscars, I did watch Barbara Walters bitch ass try to chew my boy Jamie Foxx out. She was talking about how his show, "The Jamie Foxx Show" was less than stellar, how his parents abandoned him, and trying to figure out why he had just about his whole entire family living with him. Instead of cussing her dried up, face cracking ass out, he just he let her know what the deal was.

I can't stand Barbara Walters. Oooooh! She makes me want to take switch to her ass.

Okay, I'm out like somebody's unpaid electric bill..................
