She is a talented actress but the competition is tough this year. I don't think she will get the Oscar for Best Actress.

Wow. What a string of lousy movies that Viola has been in. Compare that to the films that Meryl Streep has been in and you see a big difference.

Just by your comment you admit that r@.ism is alive and well in Hollywood because the roles for minorities and their White counterparts is wide and deep.
