Past Oscar winners (incomplete list)
Hattie McDaniel - Gone With the Wind
Sidney Portier - Lillies of the Field
Louis Gossett Jr. - Officer and a Gentleman
Denzel Washington - Glory
Denzel Washington - Training Day
Whoopi Goldberg - Ghost
Cuba Gooding Jr. - Jerry MaGuire
Halle Berry - Monster's Ball
A quick search for golden globes doesn't turn up a list of past winners, only current ones, so I'll skip it.
Grammys.
You aren't really gonna tell me the grammys are whites only are you?
Lessee:
Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Will Smith, Sean Puffy Combs (or whatever the hell he's calling himself this week), R. Kelly, Chris Rock, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, TLC, Barry White, LeVar Burton, and a crapload of other black winners that I'm too lazy to type in. Those are mostly recent winners too. Go farther back and you find even more. That also is ONLY black winners. Other minorities have won as well - Santana picked up 9 off of one album.
Oh, and Harry Belafonte got a lifetime achievement award from the Grammys.
Emmys:
Oprah Winfrey has won 16 of them - 1 of which is a lifetime achievement.
Wayne Brady won 2 emmys his first time out, one of which was tied with The View, which is cohosted by Star Jones.
So if you wanna talk about whites-only awards, how about finding awards that are actually whites-only?
