Black Actors In U.K. Express Envy Over Denzel, Halle Wins
26 March 2002 | From Studio Briefing | See recent Studio Briefing news
Following Denzel Washington's and Halle Berry's Oscar wins, black actors working in Britain have complained that their opportunity for similar success is bleak and that institutional racism is rampant in their industry. In interviews with Britain's Guardian newspaper, they noted that not only has no black British actor ever received a BAFTA ward for a leading role, blacks are never even cast in a romantic lead role and are generally relegated to gangster parts. Actor Lennie James told the newspaper: "Hopefully, these Oscars will mark a sea change in the British attitude that a black lead will not 'sell' a film abroad. ... The U.S. has huge race problems, but at least in the U.S. culture everyone gets a chance. Here, we are sidelined and insulted."
