Note, I said black female. If she wasn't the first black female actress to win an Oscar, then I'm just wrong. I thought that was what the fuss was all about when she won.

She was the first black actress to win the Oscar for Best Actress. Hattie McDaniel and I think Whoopi Goldberg won for Best Supporting Actress before Halle. The fuss was simply that Best Actress is none of the top awards, having a higher status than best Supporting Actress.
