Why isn't this Oscar-winning actress getting better parts?

Halle Berry should be cast in more serious dramatic roles. What happened to Tulia, the project that would have cast Halle as a lawyer working to exonerate innocent black men from trumped-up drug charges?

How come it's only white Best Actress winning actresses like Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lawrence and Cate Blanchett who continue to find decent work in major Hollywood projects, whilst black Best Actress winning actresses are reduced to working on TV?

I only blame halle and her agents. She loss her ambition after catwoman. Hollywood CONTINUES to give her work and she passes on them.

Well she's in talks for a new role in Kingsman, hopefully starring in an established movie will help her career. She's a stunning woman who should have a career revival.

This is good news but I hope she gets more serious high-profile parts after this. Surely there must be, or at least should be, plenty of dramatic parts for black women of a certain age.

Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?

The Call was her best role since her Oscar win.

Always look for the positive in every situation.
