Why Halle Berry Says Winning an Oscar Didn’t “Necessarily Change” Course of Her Career
Halle Berry says systemic biases limited career growth after her historic Best Actress Oscar win, which remains unmatched by any other Black woman to this day.
- In a profile published Feb. 2, Halle Berry told The Cut her Oscar did not change her career and she expected offers never materialized.
- Industry attitudes — including worries about overseas sales — limited Black actresses' roles, as directors warned casting a Black woman might change stories and noted 'Black movies don't sell overseas.'
- Drawing on peers' experiences, Halle Berry advised Cynthia Erivo not to hinge career hopes on an Oscar, while Lupita Nyong'o reported similar post‑Oscar role limitations last year.
- This year, Berry will produce three series and seven movies, and has expanded her advocacy through Respin and criticism of Gov. Gavin Newsom over the Menopause Care Act.
- She remains the only Black woman to win Best Actress, and Berry has questioned whether her win was meant to open doors, with Michelle Yeoh as the only other woman of color to win.
