Idris is the sh--- in Luther.

Idris is the sh--- in Luther. One of the best crime shows/dramas I have seen. If you haven't checked him out the series is On Demand BBC America. This is really a mini-series - first season 6 episodes, second season 4.

Natasha I don't know if I"ll be watching, because you only list 4 nominees. Would it kill you to provide COMPLETE information for those of us who actually watch more than buffoonery, and appreciate award season over basketball. SMH you provide the COMPLETE list of the Soul Train Awards even though they dissed you, by inviting the more inshape necole Bitchie to participate.

Viola is so beautiful...but

Viola is so beautiful...but her makeup and hair always seem so off. Like she's not wearing the right hair color for her chocolate skin...or she has on too much foundation? Like someone else said, I hope she gets it together for the upcoming award shows. It would be nice to see a hair/makeup transformation.

That's your contribution to a

That's your contribution to a forum? You should pick up a book instead of "Black Hair Magazine" you sound like a shallow airhead. No comment on these women acting prowess, or body of work, past interviews, or next projects, or the movie there were nominated for . . . . . .just hair & make up SMH you're in the percentage of black women that will never get married. Lords knows I wouldn't take you to meet my mother.

Please post pictures of viola

Please post pictures of viola with the right foundation... She looks too greasy..She better make sure she gets a great make up artist before the golden globe air....Dark girls need to learn that light is not their friend, their skins normally absorb the light..she should do a short halle berry style curl it with some blonde high lights.. A nice red gown with light red lipstick she would be on point..I hope her people read the blog and take my advice..

Congratz to them all, BUT

Congratz to them all, BUT Don't we always get nominated when we play the roles of MAIDS, CRACKHEADS, CROOKED COPS, ETC....Look closely at the black winners of GG and Oscars.

Goodness, i feel like someone

Goodness, i feel like someone makes this comment every single time...I agree to an extent BUT if you read the book and saw the movie and knew what this was about you probably wouldnt have said that. These women were not portrayed as mammy's...they were courageous charchters that stood up for themselves. And why should we be embarassed or ashamed about the truth, which is the fact that most of our grandmothers were maids, and in the service industry? Just because you are doesnt make you less than. And if we want to see our people get nominated for work then we need to start making better movies and include more than just Gabrielle Union in them. Those boys who made paranormal activity made it for less than $10,000. WE have to start supporting independent movies/books/plays/art/media not just the stuff that comes out at your local movie theatre so that the larger industry knows ok black people are not monolithic and they want to see more than a maid, a drug dealer, and fools...But if we keep flocking to the same type of movie then nothing else will get made and the only people we can blame for our depiction on the big screen is us.

Agreed. It would also be nice to see the ladies nominated in catagories where they are going up against each other. It would be nice to see the ladies have a change to win an award each. Then again, you know they can only give "us" but so many awards in one season. *side eye* Dayum shame.
