It's been a while since I've seen any of these films except Soul and Get Out, and I don't think any of the main characters or their actors are gay, but they're starring black men, they won Oscars, and they were made in the last 20 years:Oh, look, all I needed to do was look up List of Black Academy Award Winners and Nominees and I found THIRTEEN fitting your criteria. And four of them, black actors won for their performances. And I omitted documentaries and shorts from the list.
- Training Day
- Ray
- Last King of Scotland
- Judas and the Black Messiah
- Fences
- If Beale Street Could Talk
- Black Panther
- Soul
- BlacKKKlansman
- Hustle and Flow
- Selma
- Get Out
- The Blind Side (A bit embarrassing of a pick, I guess, but the protagonist is a straight black man, and it did win an Oscar, even if it was just for Sandra Bullock.)
