Black women are underrepresented in front of and behind the camera in movies and TV.

Where are the black women in Hollywood?

Last week marked the beginning of the awards season frenzy, as nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Golden Globes were announced. Yet, there was one important group that made a poor showing among the roster of talented nominees: black women.  While Oprah Winfrey (The Butler) and Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years a Slave) both picked up supporting actress SAG nominations (and Nyong'o grabbed another from the Golden Globes), they are the lone black women on a list of lily-white female film nominees.
