Racially-oriented Stories and Films
Two come to mind in the way of fine performances:
The Butler (Forrest Whittaker and Oprah Winfrey's efforts to bring a true story of courage to light— snubbed by the Academy) I viewed this film in the summer and found it historically and artistically interesting and valuable as an account of the Civil Rights movement in the US.)
My other vote for Best Actor:
Up and comer : Chiwetel Ejiofor
I have seen this young man's performances in the series Dancing on The Edge for BBC and 12 Years a Slave. Fine actor.
