I think she is too. I was being sarcastic. I have only a couple of small problems with Halle. I think she should have turned down some of the roles she's had, and I think she should embrace both her heritages. It's certainly an interesting comment on our times that there is said to be so much prejudice, yet to get the most mileage out of who she is she claims to be black and hence the first black female Oscar winner. In my book, she's mixed, beautiful, and the skin color is not a real issue. I'm pretty sure most people in the US agree.

"First black oscar winner?"

Here's a few names for you: 1. "Mammy" from 'Gone in the wind' 2. "Uncle Remus" from "Song of the South" 3. Sidney Poitier (I am pretty sure) won one. I may be missing someone - didn't Cuba Gooding Junior win one too?

Butterly McQueen ('Mammy') was the first black female Oscar winner, I believe..
