Agreed......Halle is beautiful... and I think it is something special to be the first black woman to receive an Oscar.........I think she was truly crying...

Tell that to Hattie McDaniel (Gone With The Wind...1939).
Halle was just the first in a leading role.

She isn't the first black woman to get the Oscar. Hattie McDaniels got it as Best Supporting Actress in Gone With the Wind.
