And my amended list of Oscar-winning films from the past 20 years starring a straight black male protagonist:
- 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.)
- Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Miles Morales is half-Puerto Rican, half-black.)
- Crash (even if nobody black was even nominated, and Ta-Nahesi Coates hated it enough to call it the worst film of the decade, because he presumably never saw One Missed Call)
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
