[quote=Anonymous]It's probably more about the politics of the movies than it is about the actual acting job or race.  Let's say all of these actors were the same race, then you'd have a typical year in the Oscars where one movie wins big, like the artist.  The academy wants to give a nod for the other great films, so the acting awards don't all go to the big winner get spread around.

You've got a great actress in a good portrayal who has been nominated 17 times but has only won twice and her last win was 30 years ago versus a relatively recently-noticed actress who has been nominated twice in two years who gives a great performance in a movie that in any other year would likely have won the oscar.

So, the academy give the award to the actress who hasn't won in 30 years and gives the consolation prize to The Help in the form of a win for Octavia.  Meryl was probably surprised because she probably thought she should have won for any of the other roles she thought she was better in.  Also, she mentions her make up artist all the time, not just in her award speech.

It wasn't about race, it was about movie politics.  [/quote]
