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.)
Why does only best picture count? Other than the obvious reason that narrowing down the criteria eliminates all the evidence that refutes your premise, that is.
