...excerpted from an article about the Golden Globes Awards.

 

"Cynthia Erivo has made Golden Globes history, becoming the first Black woman nominated twice in the lead actress (musical) category. Her second nomination comes for her role in Wicked: For Good, where she stars alongside Ariana Grande. Known for her powerful performances, Erivo’s career continues to break barriers, cementing her place as one of the most talented actors of her generation. The nomination is a significant moment for representation in Hollywood, as it highlights how far Black women have come in the entertainment industry, while underscoring the long road still ahead to ensure diverse voices are truly celebrated."

I don't believe Black women will look at  Cynthia Erivo's nomination as win.

 

 

Jada Pinkett Smith might appreciate it as much as Cynthia does.🤣😎

@ProfDNot trying to change anybody's mind. Just thought it was an interesting article. 

 

I'm not really a fan of Cynthia's. I hate her bald head. And she is not my tribe. Not descended from slaves. 

Having said all of that, I still don't agree with  jive-assed nigga pioneer's attempt to blemish her.

Gotcha.  Thanks for sharing. 

 

I do think it is a slight to Black people presenting a masculinized woman as man of the year.

 

Just a matter of time before they feature some Billy Porter type on the cover of Vogue.

 

I don't recall Ellen DeGeneres being declared man of the year or Bruce Jenner as the new face of Cosmopolitan.😁😎

Cynthia is an exotic international star, a Nigerian originally from England. I don't consider her a "home girl".  She is in the avant gard, rarified atmosphere of gender bending. 

GQ is an arm of the entertainment  industry which is very supportive of the LBGTQ community. They don't  have an obligation to cater to any one group. Controversy can increase their sales. That's show biz
