Halle Berry
It is more interesting than an undeserving Oscar. Halle Berry became Monster’s Ball’s first black woman to win the Best Actress Oscar in 2002. Eight color women have since been nominated in the Best Actress category, but none of them have succeeded. She came out and said she felt she broke boundaries, but now she admits that winning meant nothing to Hollywood.

The Hurt Locker
Whoever says The Hurt Locker is a lousy movie comes from a disingenuous location. It’s a good film. Indeed, it would not even be on this list if it were to be nominated another year. Yet, when the Hurt Locker was able to beat out for Best Picture, it just doesn’t sit well. It’s hard to reconcile that it was able to beat out Avatar, District 9, Inglorious Basterds, and Up. All of those movies are somewhat groundbreaking in their genres.
