I cannot help but notice the amount of Hollywood films with Black actors top billing that are on general release. In all my years of following film there has never been so many at one time.
They are
Deja vu - Denzel Washington
The Last King of Scotland - Forrest Whitaker
In the pursuit of happiness - Will Smith
Dreamgirls (to be released) - Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx and Beyonce Knowles.
Each of the above have received great reviews at a time whrn the planet's facination with Hip hop and black music appears tobe waining.
Maybe this indicates a shift from music to film. maybe we will see more black actors winning oscars as Denzel Hallie and Sydney all did coincidently in the same year in 2002.
