She's the first black woman (btw, her mother raised her to think of herself as a "black" woman) to ever win best actress; she acknowledged that tonight. That's not playing the race card. It's acknowledging the historical significance of the moment. Congrats, Halle!
Oh, and you too Denzel!!!
Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree...I'm happy for both of them...a momentous night. I just tuned in to this thread, so I'm sure this has been said, but: Robert Redford's had some face work done, and it's not bad. Silas from Survivor was on stage next to J-Lo. Portier's speech had me crying. I'm glad for Ron Howard. Julia Roberts is insufferable. Tom Cruise is insufferable. Barbra Streisand is insufferable.
