But even if we accept that, I still don't see her headlining franchises or being in Oscar nominated films like her white peers. It's really telling that the biggest profile role she got after her Oscar win was a secondary mo-cap role. And this is an Oscar winner we're talking about Now think of the actors of color who haven't made it that far, see if you like their odds. But I guess it was her professional goal to be offered less roles, or something? You do realize that Black Women and Men have won Oscars before....right? There is no conspiracy against Black actors in Hollywood. They win awards all the time Here are some you may not have heard of: -Halle Berr -Oprah (The Color Purple) -Whoopey Goldberg -Morgan Freeman -Denzel Washington -Will Smith -Tyler Perry -Chris Rock -Jaime Foxx -Cuba Gooding Jr. -Samuel Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson winning an Oscar, probably because that actually didn't happen. It seems your reading comprehension skills are as bad as your Google searching skills, since the mods told us to drop the topic. Anyway, I think a problem with the Sand Snakes were the godawful accent they had to work with. Only very skilled actors can make an accent like that function (Pedro Pascal) or at least seem tolerable (Indira Varma, Alexander Siddig). So: Lame accent + terrible lines + questionable actors' direction (thinking particularly about the infamous Obara monologue) = lackluster performances And if to that we add the tight schedule they were working with at the Alcazar Gardens, we have a recipe for disaster.

Channel4s-JonSnow Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I actually don't think 2 of the sandsnakes are all that terrible, they've just been given terrible lines. However, Whale Watcher girl is horrendous. No excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
