Halle Berry made history in 2002 when she became the first Black woman to win best actress at the Academy Awards, but she has conflicting feelings about it 18 years later.
"I wanted to believe it was so much bigger than me. It felt so much bigger than me, mainly because I knew others should have been there before me and they weren’t."Berry, 54, thought"Harriet" star Cynthia Erivo had a good chance last year and that"Loving" star Ruth Negga was right in the running for best actress in 2016.The actress had to continue to fight for roles even after her historic Oscar win.
Berry also thought back to the night itself, when presenter Russell Crowe announced her as the winner. She thanked pioneers like Lena Horne and Dorothy Dandridge in an emotional speech that she said was improvised on the spot. "The only thing I remember is somehow I was up on the stage, and I remember Russell whispering in my ear, ‘Breathe, mate. Breathe,''' she said."Then I remember I turned around and saw all the faces and started talking."
