31Days: Chocolate-Coated Oscars?

I can't believe it: Here I am trying to write about Black History and I miss a historic night for African Americans and the Academy Awards show. In my defense, I was working--hard--on school-related stuff. I thought I could finish and still catch the last 30 or so minutes of the broadcast, but I guess it was a pretty quick show (relatively speaking) this year.

Oh well.

I have enjoyed reading coverage of the evening's festivities. Below I share some of these pieces with you:

(1) NPR story, "Will Oscar Nominations Help Blacks in Hollywood?"

(2) AlterNet story about the different perspectives on the movie, "Ray"

(3) Target Market News story on the ratings side of Chris Rock & Company's 2005 Oscar gig

(4) Salon article about Oscar night
