The book 12 Years a Slave could would not exist if it wasn't for THREE white guys had to attest that what he was saying was true and that he wasn't lying. THREE.

How yucky was that for Salomon Northup, it's pretty eye opening about our ickie history here in the U.S.

And Alfonso Cuarón from Mexico for Beat Director.

I believe in the power of the arts to positively change the world.That's why it's exciting and important when under-represented and oppressed groups start (and it is such a tiny start) to share in the decisions of Hollywood, and to influence such a huge industry.
I don't have any illusions that Hollywood acts altruistically, and I know that "the market" dictates much about what happens. However I remain optimistic that if more people see well-crafted stories told in compelling ways - and told by people whose lives reflect a broader experience than rich white guys-- then I think those stories turn into political will, and into a less vicious world.
That's my hope.

I was disappointed in the Oscar-winning "20 Feet From Stardom" for a similar reason - yet 150 years later.

Each section featured a different AMAZINGLY BRILLIANT Black woman singer, each of them presenting their own merits in their performance. They also spoke about how badly they were treated. Yet the editors ended each section with with a different white guy saying "yes, she was quite good." AS IF THE SINGER WASN'T GOOD UNTIL HE SAID SO, even though we just saw that she was!

Last night did give Darlene Love a big audience - I was happy for her.
