Halle Berry Not Happy That She is Still the Only African-American Who Has Won an Oscar

After the 87^th Academy Awards held recently in Los Angeles, Halle Berry is disappointed that no African-American woman has yet to win an Oscar apart from her.

Halle Berry is still the only black woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress, and she's not happy about it.

"I'm disappointed," she told the Guardian in a new interview. "I'm inspired though, when I see how many people of color are doing such good work out there. The quality and value of our work isn't determined by an award."

"I would like to see more of them recognized, absolutely, but we all need to find the win in the work, and doing our craft. The real win is when we're not just selling stories of color, that people of color can be in everyday stories," Berry said. "Where we're not saying: 'These are the movies for black people.'"

Berry won an Academy Award in 2002 for her role in "Monster's Ball," which centers on a poor Southern woman who falls for a widowed prison guard after the execution of her husband. But roles like that don't come around too often, according to the 48-year-old actress.

Berry is currently starring in the CBS series Extant, which was renewed for a second season in October.

According to Berry, "anyone in this industry will tell you that that's where the best writing is. Good actors are going to TV," she said.

Berry's next movie in the big screen will be Kidnap and is directed by Luis Prieto and written by Knate Gwaltney. It will be shown on October 9, 2015.
